Severe Storms Sweep Through Western Oklahoma
The News 9 weather team is closely monitoring a series of severe storms moving across western Oklahoma, with winds recorded at nearly 70 miles per hour. A number of regions are currently under Severe Thunderstorm Watches that are expected to last until 1 a.m.
As of 8:13 PM, the most intense storm activity was reported near Camargo, Arapaho, and moving towards Sayre. Residents in these areas should prepare for possible quarter-sized hail and wind gusts reaching 65 mph. By 10:30 PM, reports indicated a slight weakening of the storms, yet Val and Amy Castor, stationed in Kingfisher, noted visible lightning amidst the rainfall.
At 11 PM, lightning persisted across western and southwestern Oklahoma, with strong winds still affecting the region. Additionally, some counties in far southwestern Oklahoma are under flood watches due to the heavy rains associated with these storms.
Residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions as the situation develops. Emergency services and local authorities are on alert, prepared to respond to any weather-related incidents. Residents are reminded to monitor updates from the News 9 weather team for the latest information on these severe weather conditions.
