The latest model information has come out, so now it's time to update the timing for severe weather. I want to remind people that the most ideal time for severe weather and tornadoes is during the late afternoon and early evening; however, given the strong dynamics with this spring-like storm, overnight severe weather will still remain possible.

The 0Z data suggests storms to develop across western Oklahoma during the day on Friday. These storms will head east and move into our area by Saturday morning. A line of storms will race across the region with embedded rotating supercells within the line. The best severe weather timing will likely be from 6 a.m. till Noon. It will be very interesting to see these storms initiate and evolve to our west throughout Friday afternoon.

Large Hail and gusty winds will be the primary threat across eastern Oklahoma and western Arkansas. Isolated tornadoes can't be ruled out given the wind shear in the atmosphere. We'll continue to update you on the air and on our weather blog!
