Current weather outlook for Saturday in Oklahoma
Saturday, June 8, 2025, will remain relatively calm across much of Oklahoma, with just a few isolated storms possible in the far south during the evening hours. The day will be mostly stable, offering a short break before a much more intense weather pattern arrives on Sunday.
Sunday alert: growing threat of severe weather
Sunday, June 9, is shaping up to be a high-impact weather day. A moderate risk for severe storms has been issued for portions of the state, especially for the afternoon and evening hours.
Storms are expected to initiate in southwest Kansas as early as 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM, then track south-southeast through the rest of the afternoon into the evening, moving into parts of central and southern Oklahoma.
Primary threats: damaging winds, large hail, tornadoes possible
The most significant dangers with these storms include:
- Very strong winds, with gusts ranging from 80 to 100 mph (approximately 130 to 160 km/h), capable of causing substantial damage to trees, power lines, and vulnerable structures.
- Baseball-size or larger hail, posing a serious threat to vehicles, roofs, and crops.
- A couple of tornadoes are also possible, particularly where conditions support supercell rotation.
Sunday night transition and early week outlook
Storms will continue pushing south through Sunday evening, followed by a multi-day break from severe weather into the early part of next week. However, due to the highly dynamic setup, updated forecasts should be monitored closely.
Warnings and preparedness
Meteorologist Aaron Brackett from KFOR urges everyone to stay alert and ensure they have multiple reliable ways to receive weather warnings between Sunday afternoon and early evening. Rapidly changing conditions will demand close attention, especially for those living in central and southern Oklahoma.
More updates will follow, but now is the time to be prepared for any potential local emergencies that might arise from this dangerous storm system.
