So far this severe weather season, we haven't seen much in the way of severe storms in Texoma. However, we're now entering that time of the year when we see our most active storms.

Up until now, weather systems that have crossed the area have been very strong, but moisture hasn't been present to give us any real threats for big time severe storms. However, the Gulf typically opens up starting in late April into May and warm moist air more easily surges northward. As weather systems move through, stronger storms are more likely to form. We also see an increase in activity along the dryline across the Texas Panhandle and into western Oklahoma and northwest Texas.

Hail, high winds, and tornadoes will be something to look out for now, through the end of May and perhaps into early June.

Next week looks mainly quite, but we might see some stronger southwesterly winds at cloud level try to organize late April or early May. This could be a period to watch out for some active storms...
