From late June through mid-July 2025, scattered showers and thunderstorms have persistently affected parts of Oklahoma and western north Texas. The National Weather Service in Norman has reported ongoing storm activity characterized by heavy rainfall, cloud-to-ground lightning, gusty winds, and occasional hail. Wind gusts have reached up to 70 mph in some severe storms, with large hail and localized flooding also noted as hazards. The storms have been particularly active in northern, central, and southern Oklahoma, as well as western north Texas, with some severe weather episodes including damaging winds and heavy downpours. Flood watches have been issued for parts of Texas and Oklahoma due to the risk of flash flooding from multiple rounds of rain and storms expected over the weekend of July 11-12. Residents are advised to remain weather aware as the threat of strong to severe thunderstorms with damaging winds, large hail, and heavy rainfall continues into mid-July.
