The storm is moving toward the northeast at 45 mph. The main concern 60 mph winds. This storm was Tornado warned toward the south of Sequoyah county. 8:oopm, Friday UPDATE: The Storm Prediction Center has moved the Enhanced Risk for severe weather a little farther north, now including much of NW Arkansas. The hatched area, indicating the area at greatest risk for a strong tornado, was also pushed a little farther north and west.All this means is that the SPC is now a little more confident that the severe weather could end up being a little more north than originally expected.And I'm going to tell you the same thing we've been telling you... the severe threat extends over our entire area, and it's not that much higher in one area or the other. Certainly the threat, in theory, is slightly higher in the River Valley, but, it's certainly no guarantee that the worst storms will inevitably occur there. We're all in the area of concern tonight. We'll keep watching it carefully. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------A Tornado Watch Has Been Issued For The Following Counties: Sebastian, Crawford, Washington, Benton, Franklin, Carroll, and Madison Effective Until 2:00 amA Tornado Watch Has Been Issued For The Following Counties: Polk, Scott, Johnson, and Logan Effective Until 2:00 am Get severe weather alerts and the latest forecast on your phone with the free 40/29 News app, available on Apple and Android devices------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 5:30pm, Friday UPDATE:The first Tornado Watch has been issued for Eastern Oklahoma.

The yellow indicates the Slight risk, the orange is the Enhanced risk, where severe weather is most likely with this system.Bottom line... our entire viewing area has a chance to see a few storms capable of producing large hail and damaging winds, and even a few tornadoes. The area I've highlighted in the black circle is where the SPC thinks a strong tornado (EF2 or stronger) is a little more likely. As always, we'll be watching it carefully at 40/29 and we'll have updates throughout the night, as needed.Chief Meteorologist Darby Bybee-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The Storm Prediction Center has updated the projections for severe weather in our area. The line of division is basically I-40. If you live NORTH of I-40, you have a SLIGHT chance of severe weather tonight. If you live along and SOUTH of I-40, you have an ENHANCED chance of severe weather. The timing of the storms has basically stayed the same. While we could see a few spotty showers during the day, the chance for stormier weather doesn't begin going up (first in the River Valley) until later this afternoon ( after 5pm). The chances of storms intensifying increases throughout the evening. However, all showers and storms should be out of here by 2:00 Saturday morning. The peak threat looks to be between 9pm and midnight...Keep in mind that all modes of severe weather are possible tonight. Winds greater than 60 mph, large hail, and even isolated tornadoes could all be in the mix. And while the greatest threat for severe weather looks to be in the River Valley and southward, we will also be watching NW Arkansas for the development of any strong to severe storms throughout the night. Remember, the threat for severe weather tonight is very real. We'll be watching it very closely in the 40/29 Weather Center, and will have updates on 40/29 News and on line leading up to tonight's storms.Chief Meteorologist Darby Bybee</s>Lightning strikes in Haltom City in this image uploaded to our web site by a user in that city.

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — A strong storm system is expected to bring hail, heavy rain and possibly tornadoes to parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

The National Weather Service says the storms are expected to develop Friday afternoon and could impact northern Texas, eastern Oklahoma and most of Arkansas.

Golf ball sized hail, damaging wind gusts and heavy rains creating a risk of flash flooding are the primary risks, but the weather service says isolated tornadoes are also possible throughout the region.

The weather service says the severe weather is expected to end on Saturday.</s>A strong storm system is expected to bring hail, heavy rain and possibly tornadoes to parts of Texas, Oklahoma and Arkansas.

The National Weather Service says the storms are expected to develop Friday afternoon and could impact northern Texas, eastern Oklahoma and most of Arkansas.

Golf ball sized hail, damaging wind gusts and heavy rains creating a risk of flash flooding are the primary risks, but the weather service says isolated tornadoes are also possible throughout the region.

The weather service says the severe weather is expected to end on Saturday.</s>A major storm developing in the central U.S. is bringing ongoing severe weather across the south, a flash flood threat to parts of the Gulf Coast and a major winter storm in the Northern Plains and upper Midwest.

There was one reported tornado in eastern Oklahoma overnight as several tornado warnings were issued in the eastern parts of the state. Additionally, there were nearly 60 reports of strong winds from northern Texas to southern Missouri. Numerous tornado warnings were issued during the overnight hours in southern Missouri, where winds reached 83 mph.

The U.S. averages 24 tornadoes in December with most developing in the southern U.S.

A clear circulation was evident on radar and satellite imagery across Kansas on Saturday morning. This developing major storm will slowly move east during the day.

A tornado watch is in effect for parts of Missouri and Arkansas through the early Saturday morning hours as a line of strong storms moves through the region. A couple of tornadoes will be possible through the early morning hours in the watch area. The risk will diminish by mid-Saturday morning in this region.

Heavy rain has spread from eastern Kansas to Florida and snow is beginning to develop across parts of Nebraska.

Travel conditions will become hazardous on Saturday morning with heavy snow developing in parts of Nebraska and South Dakota. Snowfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour are likely with winds gusting to 35 mph in parts of the Northern Plains. This will cause near whiteout conditions.

Winter storm warnings and winter weather advisories are in effect for much of the northern U.S. from Montana to northern Iowa.

The severe weather threat will nudge eastward later in the day Saturday with two main areas of concern under a slight risk for severe weather: the Gulf states from Louisiana to Florida, including much of Alabama, and parts of eastern Missouri and much of Illinois. In these slight-risk areas, strong winds, brief tornadoes and hail will all be possible.

Additionally, an onslaught of heavy rain is expected for parts of the Florida Panhandle, extreme southern Georgia and Alabama. A flash flood watch has been issued for parts of this region, as locally 3 to 5 inches of rain is possible this weekend, with the bulk of it coming Saturday. This flood threat includes Panama City, Florida, and Dothan, Alabama.

Heavy snow will fall on Saturday through parts of the Midwest and Northern Plains with a significant impacts to roadways and possible flight delays at region airports.

As some of this precipitation moves into the Northeast late Saturday night, it will encounter some colder air. As a result, some precipitation may fall as a mix of snow, freezing rain and sleet in parts of the interior Northeast. However, up to 1 inch of snow and a one-tenth of an inch of ice is expected from parts of New York to Maine. This could cause dangerous travel overnight Saturday into early Sunday morning. As warmer air moves in from the south on Sunday morning, temperatures will change the precipitation to rain.

Borderline icy events can be extremely impactful on the roads.

On Sunday, the severe threat will slide toward the Southeast coast with a slight risk of severe weather from parts of Georgia to extreme southeast North Carolina. In the slight risk area there is a possibility of strong winds, brief tornadoes and hail.

The greatest snow totals will be across parts of Nebraska, where locally over 1 foot of snow will fall. The combination of strong winds and heavy snow could cause some power outages in the region. Widespread snowfall totals of 6 to 12 inches are possible from Kansas to Wisconsin.</s>Kyler Murray threw for 379 yards and three touchdowns, but it was Oklahoma’s defense that helped the No. 5 Sooners keep their College Football Playoff hopes alive with a 39-27 win over No. 14 Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game on Saturday at AT&T Stadium.

Oklahoma has won four consecutive Big 12 Championships, a first for the conference.

The teams now await their bowl fates Sunday, with Oklahoma hoping for a third playoff appearance in four seasons. The Sooners will need to move up one spot after avenging their only loss of the year.

After an Oklahoma turnover with just more than nine minutes remaining gave the Longhorns the ball at their own 7, Sooners cornerback Tre Brown got to Texas quarterback Sam Ehlinger in the end zone and bowled him over for the safety to put the Sooners ahead 32-27.

The Sooners (12-1) then ran the clock down with a drive that took more than six minutes off the clock, capped by Grant Calcaterra’s second touchdown catch of the game.

Oklahoma had allowed 40 or more points in four consecutive games coming in, but the Sooners’ defense came up with several crucial stops, including early when Oklahoma’s offense struggled to find much of a rhythm.

Texas led 14-6 early in the second quarter after Ehlinger’s second rushing touchdown.

Oklahoma failed to score a first-quarter touchdown for the first time in 25 games and took awhile to get going in the second, punting after Ehlinger’s score.

But the Sooners’ defense held Texas, with the help of Amani Bledsoe’s third-down sack that forced a punt.

Then Oklahoma’s offense came alive, with Murray hitting CeeDee Lamb for a 42-yard pass on the first play of the ensuing drive and finding Lamb again five plays later for a 28-yard touchdown.

Ehlinger threw for 327 yards and two touchdowns for the Longhorns, who finished with 437 yards of total offense — more than 60 yards less than they had in Texas’ 48-45 win Oct. 6.

Texas receiver Collin Johnson set a Big 12 championship game record with 177 yards receiving on eight catches.

Lamb had six catches for 167 yards and a touchdown for Oklahoma.</s>It's gameday! Texas and Oklahoma will square off at 11 a.m. on KVUE for the Big 12 Championship.

If this game turns out to be anything like the first matchup, fans at AT&T Stadium are in for a real treat. In October, Texas defeated Oklahoma 48-45 in the final seconds due to a game-winning field goal by freshman kicker Cameron Dicker.

The Red River Rivalry loss was Oklahoma's sole blemish on the season. This matchup also marked the first time the two programs have met in a conference title game.

The KVUE team was up bright and early to bring you the latest from behind the scenes of the Big 12 Championship festivities.

On Thursday afternoon, firefighters were called to the 14500 block of N. Pennsylvania Ave. after witnesses reported seeing an open manhole cover and a bicycle next to it.

For nearly an hour, crews searched the area and the storm drain to make sure no one was in danger.

In the end, no one was found.</s>OKLAHOMA CITY – The country’s rate of uninsured children grew for the first time in about a decade, and Oklahoma was no exception.

The Georgetown University Health Policy Institute Center for Children and Families released a report in November detailing the drop. About 82,000 Oklahoma children, or 7.7 percent of the state’s minor population, went without coverage in 2017. That grew from 79,000 the year before and left Oklahoma with the fourth-highest uninsured rate. Texas, Alaska and Wyoming fared worse. Oklahoma was also listed as one of 12 states with a child uninsured rate significantly higher than the national average, which is 5 percent.

“Uninsured children are more likely to have unmet health needs and lack a usual source of care,” the report states.

Usual sources of care and health insurance are requisites for preventive care, said Dr. Jean Hausheer, president of the Oklahoma State Medical Association and a physician serving low-income residents in Comanche County. That can mean anything from overall wellness checks to obesity assessments, nutrition and vaccines.

The latter is an issue the medical association has raised serious concerns over, she said. Only about two-thirds of Oklahoma’s infants aged 19-35 months have gotten all of their recommended vaccines. In 2017, about 2 percent of Oklahoma’s public school children got an exemption from required vaccinations, she said. That totals more than 13,000 people, based on the Oklahoma State Department of Education’s education totals for 2017. Oklahoma is one of 18 states that allow philosophical and religious exemptions to exams.

“Measles outbreaks are coming,” Hausheer said. “Our vulnerable population is our insured group.”

Hausheer also noted that Oklahoma is one of 14 states that didn’t approve Medicaid expansion, which creates more access to federal- and state-sponsored health coverage for working families. The Georgetown report states three out of every four children who lost coverage between 2016 and 2017 live in states that have no expanded Medicaid coverage to parents and other low-income adults.

Rick Snyder is the vice president of finance and information services at the Oklahoma Hospital Association. He said the increase in the child uninsured rate is to be expected.

“I don’t think there’s any surprise in that,” he said. “Oklahoma’s low in insurance rates overall. It’s still a symptom of the problem.”

The state ranks second highest in the nation for its uninsured rate, according to census data released in September. About 14.2 percent of Oklahoma’s nearly 4 million residents had no medical coverage in 2017, up from 13.8 percent in 2016.

Insured adults are more likely to have insured children, Snyder said, so the association is continuing its work to promote insurance access for all. That includes its push for Oklahoma officials to accept all available forms of medical funding.

Patients who come to hospitals needing care don’t get turned away, he said. Pediatric care is administered, and then hospitals have to find some way to handle the loss when there is one. Although it is difficult for all, Snyder said, the challenge isn’t as hard for pediatric specialty hospitals as it is for others.

“They’re a little better able to cushion the uninsured kids by having larger volumes and so forth,” he said. “The rural hospitals, where they’re already in a negative margin, will have uninsured kids too.”

Oklahoma hasn't lost to the same opponent twice in the same season since it was swept by the Longhorns in 1901, and that didn't change Saturday as it was a Red River rematch. The Longhorns beat the Sooners 48-45 on Oct. 6, but this time it was a different story.

The Sooners had a shaky first quarter as they were figuring out their offense against Texas, but they turned it around late in the second quarter to take a 20-14 lead at the half. Texas led until the last 18 seconds of the first half when Oklahoma quarterback Kyler Murray passed 6 yards to Grant Calcaterra for a touchdown.

Oklahoma took advantage of the momentum it built late in the first half as it came out in the third quarter and scored a touchdown on their first drive to go up 27-14.

From there, the Sooners held on and relied on a strong defense to stop Texas as they became the Big 12 champions for the fourth year in a row.

This win had major College Football playoff implications as Oklahoma remains in contention for one of the final spots.

Here are three takeaways from Oklahoma's victory over Texas.

Oklahoma struggled in the first quarter to get anything going offensively and it wasn't until late in the second quarter that the Sooners figured out what they needed to do to get past the Longhorns' defense.

Saturday's Big 12 Championship game marked the end of Oklahoma's streak of 24 consecutive games with a touchdown in the first quarter. To put in perspective how long that streak is, Alabama previously held it with 12 games, according to ESPN Stats & Info.

The biggest difference was that the Sooners relied on Kyler Murray to pass the ball more. Their run game wasn't working as they were held to just 53 rushing yards in the first half and coach Lincoln Riley knew it. They went into halftime with 203 passing yards and finished the game with 379.

Sooners quarterback Kyler Murray keeps proving why he's at the center of Heisman Trophy conversations. Murray proved his versatility against Texas and showed how well he moves in the pocket. He sets up plays with the idea of throwing, but also has the capability to rush when he needs to run the ball based on how he reads the defense.

Murray had three touchdowns Saturday, giving him 51 touchdowns this season, which is two more than 2017 Heisman winner Baker Mayfield had in 14 games last season.

Heading into the conference championship game, Murray had thrown for 3,674 yards with a 70.6 completion percentage while averaging 12.01 yards per attempt. Murray entered the game with 37 passing touchdowns and 11 rushing touchdowns on the season.

Texas made its loss against Oklahoma much harder than it needed to be as the Longhorns faced huge penalties throughout the game. To end the first half, the Longhorns had eight penalties for 78 yards compared to the Sooners' two for 15 yards. It only got worse from there as Texas racked up five in the second half and finished with a total of 13 for a loss of 128 yards Saturday.

Many of the penalties came at critical times, including two on a scoring drive when the Sooners were first and goal late in the third quarter. It was clear the Longhorns' concentration was off as they made several mistakes that could have resulted in a different outcome of the game.</s>ARLINGTON, Texas - Kyler Murray threw for 379 yards and three touchdowns as No. 5 Oklahoma defeated No. 9 Texas 39-27 in the Big 12 championship game Saturday (Dec. 1). With the victory, the Sooners avenged their only loss of the regular season and made their case to return to the College Football Playoff.

Murray, the Heisman Trophy-contending, dual-threat quarterback, threw two of his TDs to Grant Calcaterra. That included an impressive 18-yard score on a third-and-10 play with two minutes left as the Sooners (12-1) won their seventh consecutive game despite being held to fewer than 40 points for the first time in nine games.

Longhorns quarterback Sam Ehlinger was 23-of-36 passing for 349 yards with two touchdowns and also ran for two scores. But his last pass was picked off by Tre Norwood at the 1 in the final minute.

Sugar Bowl pairing of Texas and Georgia appears likely, but ‘anything can happen’

Oklahoma is the first Power Five team to win four consecutive outright conference titles since Florida in the SEC in the mid-1990s.

The Sooners went ahead to stay on Austin Seibert’s third field goal, a 31-yarder that made tyeh score 30-27 with 12:37 left. It was good after ricocheting off the top of the left upright.

Two plays after Oklahoma's only turnover, when receiver CeeDee Lamb fumbled inside the 10 after a 54-yard catch-and-run with nine minutes left, the Sooners got points anyway. Cornerback Tre Brown sacked Ehlinger in the end zone for a safety.

The 114th meeting between the Red River rivals was their first in a championship game, and the first time since 1903 they had played twice in the same season. Every game since 1929 had been played about 20 miles away at the State Fair of Texas, where the Longhorns beat Oklahoma 48-45 eight weeks ago.

Oklahoma never trailed after Murray threw TDs on its last two drives of the first half for a 20-14 lead, on Calcaterra’s 6-yard TD pass in the final minute when the Sooners were out of timeouts but went 80 yards in five plays.

The Sooners were up 27-21 until Ehlinger threw a 5-yard TD to Lil’Jordan Humphrey with 2:44 left in the third quarter. But the extra point that would have put Texas ahead was deflected and clanged off the crossbar no good.
• Texas: Collin Johnson set a Big 12 championship game record with 177 yards receiving on eight catches. He had a 27-yard TD catch in the third quarter on a drive when he also had catches of 25 and 21 runs.
• Oklahoma: The Sooners won their 12th overall Big 12 title. They are the only Big 12 team that has made it into the College Football Playoff, going in 2015 and again last season with Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Baker Mayfield. They haven’t made it to a CFP title game.
• Texas will go to its first Sugar Bowl since 1995 if Oklahoma gets into the College Football Playoff. If not, the Longhorns are likely headed to the Alamo Bowl.
• Oklahoma waits to find out if it gets into the College Football Playoff, which could mean playing four weeks from now in the same stadium for the Cotton Bowl. If not, the Sooners go to the Sugar Bowl to play an SEC team.
A severe storm system brings tornado watches and warnings throughout the U.S. states of Oklahoma, Texas, Arkansas, and Missouri. A "large and dangerous" tornado is confirmed near Gore, Oklahoma. Several other tornadoes are seen by storm chasers.
