* The threat for severe weather still exists for areas east and south of an Enid to Wichita Falls line. If storms do occur, they could be severe. Most likely time would be around daybreak. A dryline and front will push this moisture that moved in yesterday and usher in very dry air. It almost has nosebleed potential with the dry air.
