A Slight Risk blankets Oklahoma City and Tulsa, OK; Moore, OK; Amarillo, TX; and St. Louis, MO.

An Enhanced Risk signals scattered severe thunderstorms, fueled by a volatile mix of Gulf moisture, steep low-level winds, and daytime heating.

Slight Risk areas face isolated severe hits from any stronger storms that develop.

Tomorrow, Sunday, June 14, a Slight Risk takes shape from Delaware and Maryland through New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, Pennsylvania, and Virginia, where afternoon clusters could spark isolated damaging winds and hail.
