After an EF-4 tornado hit Enid, Oklahoma Thursday, parts of the state are once again in the crosshairs of severe weather Saturday. There's increasing confidence of large baseball-sized hail and strong tornadoes developing over the southeastern part of the state, where NOAA's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) has issued a Level 4 out of 5 risk of severe thunderstorms. A broader Level 2 threat stretches from Kansas to parts of the North Texas and the Ark-La-Tex region.
