A large portion of Oklahoma (roughly the eastern ½ of the state), NOT INCLUDING Oklahoma County, has been placed in a Tornado Watch until 9:00 PM this evening. This is due to a dry line that is moving through the state, with the accompanying potential for thunderstorm development this afternoon and evening, usually in advance (to the east) of the dryline.

Latest from the National Weather Service’s Enhanced Weather Page: Warm temperatures, very dry air, and strong west to southwest winds behind a dryline will produce dangerous wildfire conditions today, especially across central and southwest Oklahoma and all of western north Texas. A cold front will follow the dryline and produce strong northerly winds across the region with a few showers and thunderstorms possible across northern Oklahoma. It will turn cooler for Oklahoma and northern Texas from Friday into the weekend while rain chances will improve significantly late Saturday and Sunday.
