Severe Weather Alert: Thunderstorms and Flooding Expected Today
OKLAHOMA CITY, OK—April 28, 2025—Residents are urged to prepare for a significant weather event this evening, as KOCO 5 Meteorologist Jonathan Conder announces an "Alert Day" due to anticipated severe thunderstorms and flash flooding.
The forecast indicates the risk for storms will intensify after 7 PM, with initial storm systems expected to initiate around 4 to 6 PM. While temperatures will gradually rise into the 70s and 80s throughout the day, cloud cover is expected to dominate the skies, accompanied by breezy conditions with winds gusting up to 20 miles per hour.
Conder highlighted that all areas will have a chance of rain, but Northern Oklahoma and parts of Oklahoma City may experience the highest severity of weather conditions. The assessment has categorized the risk level at two, suggesting a serious situation but not yet extreme.
Key threats include significant hail damage potential, with hailstones reaching sizes comparable to baseballs. Moreover, there’s an elevated risk of tornado activity, which residents are advised to monitor closely. Perhaps most concerning is the forecast for severe flash flooding tomorrow, prompting warnings for residents to stay informed and prepared.
Residents are encouraged to tune into KOCO 5 for extended coverage of the developing situation, with live newscasts airing at 9 PM and 11 PM. These broadcasts will provide crucial updates including hail size predictions, tornado indices, and a comprehensive timeline of storm activity.
