**** Original Story *****

 

Severe weather is once again possible this evening for the four-state area.

 

The Storm Prediction Center puts the region, including Montgomery County, in the “slight” risk category today, which is a level two out of five risk.

 

Thunderstorms are expected to develop late this afternoon. The storms will move northeast and become more numerous mainly over south central and southeast Kansas tonight. A few severe storms could produce up to golf ball sized hail and damaging winds around 70 mph through the late evening hours. The risk for hazardous weather will then transition to heavy rainfall overnight.

 

There is a limited risk of severe wind and hail across northeast Oklahoma, with an elevated risk across portions of southeast Oklahoma. The tornado threat with the storms tonight is expected to be low.

 

KGGF will provide severe weather coverage tonight if needed.
