The National Weather Service has issued warnings for potential flooding in Oklahoma this weekend. Several rounds of storms are expected to bring heavy rain, increasing the risk of significant flash flooding and mainstem river flooding.

According to the National Weather Service in Norman, Oklahoma, widespread rainfall totals are predicted to range from four to six inches, with some localized areas potentially receiving between eight to ten inches of rain. This heavy rainfall could lead to life-threatening and catastrophic flooding conditions in parts of the state.

Residents are advised to stay informed and take necessary precautions to ensure their safety. The storms are part of a powerful spring weather system impacting the Lower Ohio Valley and Mid-South regions, with severe weather expected to continue through the weekend.

The National Weather Service urges people in affected areas to monitor weather updates and heed any warnings or advisories issued. As the situation develops, it is crucial to remain vigilant and prepared for possible evacuations or other emergency measures.
