Based on radar, there seems to be good potential for extremely large hail, although it doesn't appear very favorable for tornadoes...yet.

Initiation now appears to be under way in SW Oklahoma... I'd keep an eye on anything that blows up quickly down there as these are the cells which will head towards the OKC metro area
