Marginal risk for Tornado Tuesday; flooding remains top concern

Severe weather is possible on Tuesday as the Twin Lakes area marks the second day of fall. The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a flood watch for the area through Wednesday and a marginal risk of tornado activity developing Tuesday afternoon.

NWS meteorologist Alex Young tells KTLO News that showers will begin early in the morning and a cold front moving through Oklahoma will usher in the chance for severe weather in the afternoon and evening. Although chances remain low for a tornado to form conditions will make it and other forms of severe weather possible.

Young says the primary threat remains the heavy rain that may fall area wide. Flash flooding will be possible when accounting for the very dry conditions over the last month aiding in fast runoffs.
