Forecast Summary
Elevated rain and storm chances will be with us through Monday. Activity should become more scattered by Tuesday. If you have outdoor plans, just keep an eye on the radar. Rain and storms will be off and on. You may catch breaks in the activity and be able to still carry out some outdoor plans.
Remember that if you’re close enough to hear thunder, you’re close enough to be hit by lightning.

Yesterday’s Rainfall
On This Day
On May 3, 1999, an unusual confluence of atmospheric conditions in Oklahoma spawned dozens of tornadoes that swept across the state in an hours-long parade of destruction. Thousands of homes were damaged or destroyed, and 19 counties became disaster areas. The worst toll was in human lives: 44 dead, including three children. Hundreds more were injured. During this outbreak, a mobile doppler radar operated by Oklahoma University recorded a wind speed of 301 mph just above the surface with a violent F-5 tornado near Oklahoma City.
