A storm system will move through and along a cool front, we’ll have a line of strong to severe storms move from the northwest to the southeast tomorrow night. There’s the likelihood that some of those storms will also be strong to severe.

By Thursday morning, showers and storms will be in southeastern Oklahoma and we’ll have quiet weather for most of Green Country during the day.
