According to the National Weather Service, scattered showers and thunderstorms will develop across central Oklahoma Sunday afternoon and evening, bringing the risk of lightning, brief downpours, and gusty winds to the metro area and nearby communities. Showers may linger into Monday morning, though the threat diminishes after midday.
Roadways in Oklahoma City, Norman, and Edmond could become slick at times Sunday, especially during periods of heavier rainfall.
