Starting the May thread as the last day of April is going to be quiet, but things look to get active again in a hurry at the turn of the month. Expecting a significant severe weather event on Sunday in the OK/TX Panhandles, and the storms which form out there should eventually move into OKC on Sunday Night, albeit in a weakening state with only a marginal severe threat expected. Depending on how the atmosphere recovers on Monday, that could end up being a significant severe weather day for OKC. Still TBD, but the potential is definitely there and there doesn't look to be any capping issues. Tuesday is likely a transition day between systems. Wednesday could be yet another significant severe weather event for the OKC area, but details obviously get very murky that far out. Beyond that, the pattern becomes a little muddled, but I would lean towards late next week and next weekend being less active.

At some point later in the month, the Desert Southwest ridge will likely try to build in and turn our pattern hotter and drier than normal. But, I said something similar at the beginning of last month's thread and ended up being completely wrong, so it's certainly not a guarantee.
