Special Weather Statement issued October 1 at 2:56PM CDT by NWS Norman OK

Harper; Woods; Ellis; Woodward

At 255 PM CDT, Doppler radar was tracking a thunderstorm capable of
producing funnel clouds or perhaps a landspout 10 miles west of
Alabaster Caverns State Park, moving northeast at 10 mph. Additional
storms will develop within the next hour over northern Woods and
Woodward Counties as well as northeastern Ellis County, which may
also produce funnel clouds.

HAZARD...Wind gusts of 30 mph.

SOURCE...Radar indicated.

IMPACT...Gusty winds could knock down tree limbs and blow around
unsecured objects.

Locations impacted include...
Alva, Fort Supply, Freedom, Alabaster Caverns State Park, Capron, and
Camp Houston.

Conditions are favorable for the formation of funnel clouds, but the
threat posed by these funnel clouds is low. Most funnel clouds will
not reach the ground. If they do, weak tornadoes with brief wind
gusts in excess of 50 MPH may occur.

If you observe a funnel cloud or one is reported in your area, move
indoors and stay away from windows.

While the best/highest coverage of rain and storms will remain across southeast Oklahoma today, at least scattered development is expected further north by this afternoon and evening.

Coverage should diminish on Friday as a cold front sweeps slowly southeast.
