🚨 Move Ovar Haarptards... Severe storms, strong tornado risk Saturday in Oklahoma has upgraded

Another round of severe storms is expected in Oklahoma on Saturday, with the risk upgrading overnight and a tornado watch already in effect for counties in the western part of the state.

The tornado watch is for a round of morning storms, but multiple waves of storms are expected throughout the day. KOCO 5 Meteorologist Sabrina Bates says she expects more severe watches to be issued later.

The risk for severe weather has upgraded. A good portion of the state ranging from Lawton to the OKC metro, Stillwater, Tulsa and Bartlesville is under a level-four moderate risk.

Sabrina says the upgrade is because there is a better likelihood of seeing strong to significant severe weather, especially strong tornadoes. The threat of severe storms decreases outside of that moderate-risk area, but there could be tornadoes in the lower-risk parts of the state.
