Storms will start to enter western Texoma around 5pm tonight. The storms will be fast moving and will reach the Lawton area around 8pm. They will continue to move quickly east and be out of the Texoma region around 11pm tonight. The best chance for tornadoes will be early in the evening as the storms pop up as potential supercells. As the storms move eastward, the system will combine into a straight line thunderstorms. Straight line thunderstorms are less likely to produce tornadoes, but it is still possible.
