Warm Temperatures and Severe Storms Ahead for Oklahoma This Weekend

The last weekend of March is looking to be warm and storm-filled for Oklahoma. Temperatures could reach 90 degrees in some areas of Oklahoma on Saturday, followed by strong to severe storms.

Earlier this week, it was looking like Oklahoma could have a back-to-back weekend of tornado outbreaks. But now that we're one day away from the weekend, it's looking like most of Oklahoma could see strong to severe storms with a chance of isolated tornadoes on Saturday. Severe storms could continue into Sunday for southeast Oklahoma.

Daytime highs will also be very warm on Saturday for most of Oklahoma. Areas of southwest Oklahoma could see highs in to 90s while the rest of the state could top out in the upper 80s. Temperatures will be cooler on Sunday with highs in the upper 50s and 60s across the state.

Oklahoma could see hail, high winds and low tornado potential Saturday.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, strong to severe storms will be possible across Oklahoma on Saturday evening and into early Sunday morning. Storm threats include large hail up golf ball size, damaging wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour and a very low tornado threat.

Storms could start in the northern part of the state around 5 p.m. and will make their way south Saturday evening and into Sunday morning. Although, it is possible that parts of Oklahoma won't see any storms this weekend. But if storms do develop, they will likely be severe.

More rain chances possible next week in Oklahoma.

The term "April showers" may be true for Oklahoma this year as more rain is expected next week during the first week of April. Oklahoma has chances on Tuesday, April 1 and will continue into Friday, April 4.

Will it rain on Easter in Oklahoma?

Easter will take place on Sunday, April 20, and Oklahoma residents will want to remain weather aware as they make their Easter plans. It's likely that Oklahoma could see rain on Easter weekend. Local meteorologists are expecting Oklahoma to move into a wet pattern this April and the Farmers' Almanac predicted that the weather around Easter in Oklahoma will be "unsettled," which means rain and severe storms are possible.
