Tornado Probabilities are the same in this watch:

DISCUSSION...THE INITIATION OF DISCRETE SUPERCELLS APPEARS LIKELY
ALONG THE DRYLINE ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA DURING THE NEXT FEW
HOURS...BEFORE ADVECTING AWAY FROM THE DRYLINE ON 40-50 KT DEEP
LAYER SOUTHWESTERLY MEAN FLOW. AS ACTIVITY PROGRESSES THROUGH A
MOIST UNSTABLE BOUNDARY LAYER WITH SIZABLE CAPE...THE RISK FOR VERY
LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES IS EXPECTED TO INCREASE THROUGH THE EVENING
HOURS. BY EARLY EVENING...A STRENGTHENING SOUTHERLY LOW-LEVEL JET
WILL CONTINUE TO ENLARGE LOW-LEVEL HODOGRAPHS...MAINTAINING THE RISK
FOR TORNADOES ACROSS EASTERN OKLAHOMA. A COUPLE OF LONG-LIVED/LONG
TRACK SUPERCELLS ARE POSSIBLE...WITH A RISK FOR A FEW STRONG
TORNADOES.

Storms really starting to take off. No coverage yet, probably once they go tornadic.

Best sources IMO:

Wichita - KSNW
Oklahoma City - KWTV (KOCO is also good)
Tulsa - KOTV
