Hey, we know how easy it is for severe risks on consecutive days to start to blend together. We put this table of severe risks between now and Saturday together to hopefully help you keep track of the when, the where, and the what. #okwx #txwx

Fire drill tip: Practice feeling your way out of your home in the dark or with your eyes closed 🙇‍♂️ Also important: Teach children not to hide from firefighters 👨‍🚒 #YouCan #PracticeEmergencyDrills #12WaystoPrepare #ReadyOK #FireDrill

OKC! There is a chance of severe weather overnight in the metro. The most likely timing for the metro will be between 4am and 7am (4/16/24), which could impact rush hour commuter traffic. All hazards are possible. #okc

Our next risk of severe weather is Monday (April 15th). Large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes are possible. With the risk of storms, it's good to be prepared. There'll always be another risk of severe weather even if you don't use these tips on Monday! #okwx #texomawx

We sure hope nobody needs to know this today, but just in case...
