***** Original Story *****

 

There is a slight chance of severe weather this afternoon and evening for the four-state area.

 

The best chance for strong storms will be in northeast Oklahoma and counties in Kansas along the Oklahoma state line. Hail and strong winds will be the primary threats, although a tornado or two cannot be ruled out. Timing is most likely between 5 and 9 p.m. KGGF will provide severe weather coverage tonight if needed.
