NEWS. STILL KEEPING A CLOSE EYE ON THE RADAR FOR THIS EVENING. SO WE HAD ONE TORNADO WATCH EARLIER IN THE SEVERE THUNDERSTORM THAT MADE ITS WAY DOWN INTO SOUTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA. THAT STORM HAS WEAKENED. THE CAP IS PRETTY, PRETTY THICK ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. NOW, WHAT DOES THAT MEAN TO YOU? I KNOW THAT’S WEATHER JARGON. BASICALLY ONLY THE ABILITY FOR STORMS TO REMAIN SEVERE IF THEY TO BE VERY BRIEF. AND SO WHILE WE’LL HAVE A COUPLE STRONG STORMS, TRY TO POP UP THE RISK FOR SEVERE WEATHER FOR THE OKC METRO IS PRETTY LOW FOR TONIGHT. SO IF YOU HAVE SOME DIFFICULTY GOING TO BED WITH THE CHANCE FOR STORMS, JUST KNOW THAT ACROSS THE METRO, OUR STORM CHANCE IS QUITE LOW. SEE THESE STORMS RIGHT HERE? THEY LOOK PRETTY INTENSE AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY OUT OF COMANCHE COUNTY. BUT THEN AS THEY MAKE THEIR WAY UP IN TOWARDS GRADY COUNTY, THEY SHOW SIGNS OF WEAKENING. AND SO I EXPECT THAT ANY STORM THAT MAKES ITS WAY TO THE TURNPIKE FOR TONIGHT, IT’S GOING TO DO THAT EVEN THIS DOWN HERE, THAT’S GOING TO BE SOUTHWEST OF LAWTON. THIS WILL MOVE UP THE TURNPIKE AND THEN BEGIN TO WEAKEN. SO WE’RE DOING OKAY HERE. OTHERWISE, WHILE NICK AND MIKE ARE WATCHING THE STORM THREAT IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA, WE HAVE DEREK AND WE HAVE SHANE OUT ACROSS NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA WATCHING THE RISK HERE. AND THIS IS WHY NOT THAT LONG AGO, THE STORM PREDICTION CENTER ISSUED A TORNADO WATCH THAT GOES UNTIL PRETTY EARLY IN THE MORNING UNTIL 3 A.M. FROM ALVA WOODWARD, BUFFALO. AND AS YOU GO UP INTO KANSAS. SO OUR TORNADO INDEX FOR NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA TONIGHT, IT’S NOT PARTICULARLY HIGH. IT’S NLY AT A TWO ON A 1 TO 10 SCALE. NOW, WHILE THERE WILL CERTAINLY BE A CHANCE FOR STORMS TO GO UP IN NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA, THE SOUTHEASTERLY WINDS ARE JUST SCREAMING ACROSS THE STATE. I THINK A LOT OF US CAN PROBABLY HEAR HIM RIGHT NOW. SO WANT TO WATCH FOR ANY STORMS THAT CAN DEVELOP AND ROTATE. IF THEY DO DEVELOP AND THE CHANCE IS 40% OR LESS RIGHT NOW, THEY WOULD DO SO BETWEEN MIDNIGHT AND 3 A.M., MAINLY FOR FAR NORTHERN AND NORTHWESTERN OKLAHOMA. SO WE’RE GOING TO WATCH IT CLOSELY. OTHERWISE, ON THE OTHER HAND, THE WINDS, THEY HAVE BEEN REALLY STRONG NON THUNDERSTORM WINDS TOO. BY THE WAY WILL ROGERS WORLD AIRPORT HAD A 58 MILE PER HOUR WIND GUSTS. WINDS BELIEVE IT OR NOT HAVE ACTUALLY COME DOWN. I KNOW THEY’RE STILL PRETTY STRONG OUT THERE, BUT THEY HAVE COME DOW
