TWO AND ONE FROM THE FIRST ALERT WEATHER CENTER. METEOROLOGIST JONATHAN CONDER HERE. VERY SIGNIFICANT. SEVERE WEATHER DAY AHEAD. A VERY RARE HIGH RISK HAS BEEN ISSUED TO INCLUDE OKC IN CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. IT'S BEEN ABOUT FIVE YEARS SINCE OKLAHOMA HAS HAD A HIGH RISK. AND THIS HIGH RISK HAS BEEN ISSUED FOR THE TORNADO THREAT. NOW DON'T BE FOCUSED ON THAT HIGH RISK. MOST OF THE STATE HAS A TORNADO RISK, AND THAT INCLUDES TORNADO OUTBREAK. SO FOR EXAMPLE, EVEN LIKE HOBART AND CLINTON, YOU'RE OUTSIDE THE HIGH. YOU HAVE A VERY SIGNIFICANT TORNADO RISK FOR TODAY. LET'S GET SPECIFIC ABOUT THE OKC TIMELINE. SO FOR FAMILIES THAT HAVE KIDS AT SCHOOL, I REALLY THINK

PICK UP LINES 3:00 SHOULD BE FINE. THAT COULD CHANGE. WATCHING IT CLOSELY, I THINK THE CHANCE OF TORNADOES AT THAT TIME IS PRETTY LOW FROM 5 TO 7. WE NEED TO REALLY START PAYING ATTENTION. WE'LL LIKELY HAVE TORNADO WARNINGS TO OUR WEST BY THAT TIME. OKC AT THAT TIME, IF YOU CAN. WE'RE GRAVITATING TOWARDS GETTING HOME AFTER 7 P.M. WE ARE HOME OR AT OUR PLACE OF SHELTER. ALL RIGHT, I DON’T WANT YOU TO ABOUT RUNNING AROUND WHILE THE WARNINGS ARE GOING ON. THESE ARE NOT STORMS YOU WANT TO MESS WITH BECAUSE THE HAIL SIZES AND HOW INTENSE, HENCE HOW DANGEROUS THEY'RE GOING TO BE. SO AGAIN, VERY, VERY DANGEROUS DAY AHEAD. I WANT YOU TO TALK TO YOUR

FAMILY MEMBERS NOW ABOUT YOUR PLAN. WE'RE PAYING ATTENTION AND THERE IS A TORNADO RISK EVEN AFTER SUNSET. NOW, THIS IS JUST ONE SIMULATION, OKAY? JUST ONE RUN OF PREDICTOR. BUT THE TAKEAWAY HERE, TORNADO WARNINGS AS EARLY AS 4 P.M., BUT FIVE, 6 P.M. WEST CENTRAL OKLAHOMA DEPENDS WHERE THOSE LINE UP. THEY COULD LINE UP DOWN NEAR ALTUS AND HOBART AND COME RIGHT INTO OKC. BUT THOSE ARE NUMEROUS SUPERCELLS. BIG HAIL RISKS LIKE SOFTBALL SIZE AND A TORNADO RISK. AND THAT TORNADO RISK WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EVENING FROM 7 TO 10 P.M. THE LOW LEVEL SHEAR REALLY RAMPS UP. SO EVEN THOUGH STORMS MAY TRY TO LINE OUT, THEY WILL STILL HAVE A

TORNADO RISK WITH IT AFTER MIDNIGHT. THAT STORM THREAT WILL BE EAST OF OKC. SO WHAT DO I NEED YOU TO DO? NUMBER ONE, YOU CAN COME JOIN ME 9 A.M. HOUR LONG NEWSCAST. WE STREAM. IT ALSO LIVE ON OUR APP. ALSO. SO J JUST COME PAY US A VISIT LATER THIS AFTERNOON. I WOULD SAY CHECK IN WITH DAMON AT FOUR 5:06 P.M. PRETTY HIGH PROBABILITY HE WILL BE ALREADY TRACKING SEVERE WEATHER AT THAT.
