Monday will be cloudy and windy, and during the evening storms will begin to develop in the northwest.

This will be a broken line of storms that will race to the east overnight into Tuesday.

Threats along the line are primarily damaging winds, and large hail. However, the tornado threat goes up overnight as well.

Hail size zone.

The overall threat of tornadoes is low. The concern will be for those short-fused spin ups that occur along the line. We call those QLCS tornadoes, and most of the time they are on the weak side.

Storm Timeline 

Storms fire up in the northwest from 10 p.m. to 12 a.m. Tuesday. They will move through the Oklahoma City Metro from 1 a.m. to 4 a.m.

Storm time of arrival.

Prepare yourself and your household by going over your safe spot and safety plans.

Tornado safe space.

Make sure the family knows what to do if a warning is issued for your area. If you are prepared, there's no reason to be scared.

Emergency storm supplies.

We may go through the night with no tornadoes at all.

Trackers will be out and our weather team will be in the studio. We will bring you live updates as these storms roll through. 

On Tuesday, high winds will be the big story! Winds will gust over 50 mph with some gusts to 60 mph.

Windspeed zone.

This will mean high fire danger, and will also cause some blowing dust. The high winds could cause some power outages.

There will be a few showers Tuesday afternoon.
