Tomorrow (Tuesday) is shaping up to be a splendid day on the weather front. You'll want to get outside and enjoy the dry weather while it's here, as chances for storms (including severe weather) increase by the mid to late week. #okwx #texomawx

With severe weather expected later today, it's a good idea to make sure you have multiple ways to receive a warning if a storm approaches your area. Also, be thinking about where you would take shelter too! #okwx #texomawx
