Officials are working to assess the extent of the damage. Although several forecasters predicted the likelihood of tornadoes was low on Monday, the National Weather Service later in the day issued five simultaneous tornado warnings. Four tornadoes occurred. The storms did not bring significant rainfall.

Severe weather could return to Oklahoma on Wednesday, with a 20 percent to 50 percent chance of severe storms.
