The risk of severe weather increases on Friday with hail and a tornado or two possible. 

"This boundary will slide back southward Friday evening with more storm potential before stalling from the southwest to northeast across the state this weekend.  A stalled boundary is a good thing and a bad thing.  The good, our friends in central and western Oklahoma may get some much needed rainfall.  The bad, we may have some severe storms to deal with," said Alan Crone. 

The rain will hang around for the Easter weekend.  Monday, Crone says there is a chance of more severe weather could break out across the Sooner state.
