More storms could develop this evening over the northern half of Oklahoma, the National Weather Service says.
Thunderstorms developing in the central high plains may also move southeast into parts of Oklahoma late tonight into Monday morning, possibly bringing severe weather.
Otherwise, warm to hot conditions will prevail for the next several days until a strong storm system late in the week brings yet another chance of severe weather, and a slight drop in temperatures.
A largely stationary storm system dumped rain across much of northern, eastern and central Oklahoma this morning.
The only watch or warning in the state as of 8 p.m. was a flood warning for the Neosho River in Ottawa County.
The forecast for Oklahoma City on Monday calls for a high of 94 degrees, partly cloudy skies and south-southeast winds 17 to 22 mph, gusting to 31 mph.
The state forecast calls for partly cloudy to sunny skies, highs from low 90s to low 100s, moderate easterly and southerly winds increasing in the afternoon. The northeast has a 20 percent chance for rain.
