Tulsa and Broken Arrow reported thunderstorms with large hail late Sunday night as another band of severe weather moved through the area.

Some severe thunderstorms are likely over the next few days, according to News On 6 meteorologist Dick Faurot.

"There will be several rounds of convective activity each of the next few days, and each will have the potential for producing severe weather with all modes possible," Faurot said.

"Monday and Tuesday also have a significant severe weather potential as a weak frontal boundary is expected to drop to near the Oklahoma-Kansas state line and bounce around that vicinity for the next few days," Faurot said.

"This will provide a better focus for storm development so we are carrying a better chance of storms, particularly for the late afternoon hours and quite likely extending through the overnight hours both days."
