Severe storm chances return Friday across Oklahoma, bringing the potential for damaging winds, large hail, and even a tornado threat.<\/p>\n

The day starts dry in Oklahoma City, but storms could develop between Friday afternoon along a dryline in northern areas. If they form, they could quickly strengthen into supercells capable of producing large hail and tornadoes.<\/p>\n

By the evening, additional storms are expected to develop along a cold front and spread south.<\/p>\n

The main threats shift toward damaging winds and hail, though the tornado risk is not zero. Storms will continue moving south overnight, gradually weakening into heavy rain and small hail.<\/p>\n

A strong cold front will move through overnight, bringing a gusty north wind that eases by Saturday morning, bringing calmer and more comfortable conditions.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
