OKLAHOMA CITY, OK - An intense thunderstorm tore through OKC earlier Monday evening, producing large hail up to 2.75" in diameter in The Village.

The system responsible for this is a trough pushing through the state. The main threat with these storms will be the potential for large hailstones exceeding 1" in diameter. Severe winds above 58 mph will also be a threat.

The Storm Prediction Center highlights areas surrounding Oklahoma City south to Dallas, with a Slight Risk across the OKC metro. Damaging winds and large hail look to be the biggest concerns.

Timing will favor the afternoon hours, but there is some uncertainty about how far south these will survive. Dallas could see these storms overnight - if they make it that far.

The good news? A reinforcing shot of cooler air will initially be what sparks the storms but will settle into parts of the southern plains. The result will be daytime highs settling back close to seasonal averages.

We might have some cooler weather in that extended forecast, we'll show you if that's in the cards in your Central Regional Forecast, at :30 past every hour!
