LOCAL.     LATEBREAKING. THIS IS KOCO FIVE NEWS AT EIGHT. HEY! GOOD MORNING OKLAHOMA. 758 ON YOUR SUNDAY. THANKS FOR JOINING US. I\u2019M DAKOTA AND I\u2019M JORDAN. RYAN. LET\u2019S GET OVER TO METEOROLOGIST MICHAEL ARMSTRONG, WHO HAD A THING FOR. KAYLA, SAID MICHAEL SMITH COMBINING THE TWO GREAT METEOROLOGISTS AND A BUSY NIGHT SO THAT THAT WOULD MAKE SENSE. IT\u2019S BEEN A LITTLE BIT BUSY HERE. IT\u2019S PRETTY MUCH MARKET AREA NOW, RIGHT? YEAH, IT\u2019S SLIDING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST AND NOT BEFORE BRINGING SOME REALLY HEAVY RAIN FOR A LOT OF US LAST NIGHT. A HEALING RAIN IN SOME CASES. MICHAEL W SMITH SEE WHAT I DID THERE. ALL RIGHT. YEAH. SO WE HAVE SOME LIGHT RAIN ACROSS WESTERN PARTS OF OKLAHOMA. SPRINKLES HERE AND THERE. NOT MUCH MORE THAN THAT. THE BULK OF THE HEAVY RAIN IS NOW SLIDING TO THE SOUTH AND EAST, AWAY FROM THE AREAS WHERE WE DID HAVE SOME FLASH FLOOD WARNINGS HERE AROUND CENTRAL OKLAHOMA EARLIER THIS MORNING BECAUSE OF 4 TO 6IN OF RAIN ESTIMATED ON RADAR. NOW YOU STILL SEE SOME LIGHT SHOWER ACTIVITY CONTINUING WITH THE CLOUD COVER. SO THAT WILL HELP KEEP TEMPERATURES IN CHECK TODAY, MAKING IT OUT OF THE MID 70S. HERE\u2019S SOME OF THE LOOK AT THE SOME OF THE RAINFALL TOTALS HERE. RADAR RAINFALL RADAR ESTIMATE AND FIVE INCHES OF RAIN A LITTLE OVER THAT JUST SOUTH OF LAKE THUNDERBIRD DOWN NEAR ETOWAH AND 6.3. THAT\u2019S THE MOST I CAN FIND ON THAT WAS SOUTHWEST AND JUST EAST OF CHICKASHA. SO YEAH, GRADY COUNTY GETTING SOME INCREDIBLE RAIN 2 TO 3IN WIDESPREAD HERE ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA. AND WE HAD SOME HEAVY RAIN ACROSS NORTHERN PARTS OF THE STATE WHERE SUPERCELL IMPACTED NORTHERN OKLAHOMA LAST EVENING WITH SOME DAMAGING WINDS. UNFORTUNATELY TOOK OUT SOME POWER AS WELL. WE HAD MULTIPLE THOUSANDS OF CUSTOMERS WITHOUT POWER HERE THIS MORNING DUE TO THE WINDS WITH THOSE STORMS, 68 DEGREES HERE IN OKLAHOMA CITY RIGHT NOW. VERY CLOUDY, OVERCAST. AND THAT, LIKE I SAID, IS GOING TO KEEP THOSE TEMPERATURES DOWN IN THE MID 70S TODAY WITH ONLY A 20% CHANCE OF RAIN. TEMPERATURES AT THE MOMENT IN THE 60S AND LOW 70S, IF YOU\u2019RE HEADED OUT THE DOOR. BUT YEAH, NOT NOT GOING TO HIT THOSE NORMAL HIGHS TODAY. NORMAL HIGHS AROUND 87 WILL BE UP TO 76 TODAY. AND SOME MORE RAIN CHANCES. STORM CHANCES ON THE WAY THAT\u2019S COMING UP. ALL RIGHT. HAPPENING RIGHT NOW. WE\u2019RE TAKING A LIVE LOOK AT THIS SEMI CRASHED OUT ON I-44 IN LAKE HEFNER PARKWAY. WE\u2019RE NOT SURE IF THERE ARE ANY INJURIES. BUT AS YOU CAN SEE THERE, THERE IS A TOW TRUCK AT THE SCENE. BUT AS OF RIGHT NOW, THAT ON RAMP IS GOING TO BE CLOSED. THIS SHOULD BE CLEARED PRETTY SOON. WE HAVE REPORTED ON SEVERAL ACCIDENTS AT THIS SAME SPOT OVER THE PAST SEVERAL WEEKS. DAKOTA, ESPECIALLY WHEN IT GETS SLICK OUT THERE, JUST SEEMS LIKE THIS IS AN ISSUE. ABSOLUTELY. AND WE\u2019RE GOING TO CONTINUE FOLLOWING THAT. HEY, LISTEN TO THIS. YESTERDAY\u2019S STORMS CAUSED ROAD CLOSURES IN SEVERAL DIFFERENT SPOTS THROUGHOUT OKLAHOMA. THREE MILES OF POWER LINES DOWN ON ONE HIGHWAY IN KAY COUNTY CAUSING MAJOR ISSUES. LOOK AT THAT. THAT IS A POWER LINE THERE DOWN SO U.S. HIGHWAY 177 WAS CLOSED AS CREWS CLEANED UP. OUR STORM CHASERS ALSO CONFIRMED THE DAMAGE WAS THERE AT THE 101 WILD WEST RODEO IN PONCA CITY. THAT\u2019S A VERY POPULAR DEAL THERE. WE EVEN SAW SOME STRUCTURES DAMAGED AS WELL. THEN IN NOBLE COUNTY, POWER LINES FELL AND SHUT DOWN SOUTH HIGHWAY 156 NEAR MARLIN. THAT AREA WAS CLOSED BETWEEN COUNTY ROADS 170 AND 180, BUT THAT IS NOW OPEN. WELL, THE FINAL MINUTES OF LAST NIGHT\u2019S GAME FOR KNICKS FANS IN NEW YORK CITY WAS SOMETHING THEY WILL NEVER FORGET. AND THAT WAS RIGHT HERE ON KOCO 5. OF COURSE, WE REMEMBER OUR CELEBRATIONS ONE YEAR AGO. I KNOW. YEAH, AND THAT ONE AROUND ERUPTED IN NEW YORK AS THEY SECURED THEIR FIRST CHAMPIONSHIP IN 50 YEARS. AND OVERNIGHT THEY TOOK TO THE STREETS. THAT\u2019S MOMENTS RIGHT THERE ON THE SCREEN AS THEY WON THAT GAME. AND OF COURSE, THE WORLD EXPECTED NEW YORK FANS TO FILL THE STREETS. AND THEY MOST CERTAINLY DID THAT. THEY WERE JUMPING ALL AROUND, CLIMBING STREET POLES. IT WAS QUITE EXCITING. EVEN YOU WOULD OBVIOUSLY DOUBT THIS, BUT SOME POLICE OFFICERS DID HAVE TO TAKE A FEW OF THEM AWAY. HOPEFULLY EVERYBODY\u2019S SAFE THERE. WELL, NEW THIS MORNING, THE CENTER FOR DISEASE CONTROL OR CDC, IS LAUNCHING AN EMERGENCY OPERATIONS CENTER RESPONDING TO NEW WORLD SCREWWORM CONCERNS. THIS IS A STORY WE\u2019RE FOLLOWING VERY CLOSELY. THE FLIES LAY EGGS IN THE TISSUE OF LIVESTOCK AND PETS, AND THE LARVAE BURROW DEEP FURTHER INTO THE FLESH, CREATING SOMETIMES DEADLY WOUNDS. THEY WERE ERADICATED FROM THE UNITED STATES BACK IN THE DAY, BUT NOW THEY\u2019RE BACK. AND OVER THE LAST 30 DAYS, THE USDA SAYS THEY\u2019VE FOUND 12 CASES OF SCREWWORM ACROSS TEXAS AND NEW MEXICO. WELL, OKLAHOMA VETERINARIANS SAY THE STATE SHOULD BE GOOD TO GO IF THEY COME HERE. OKLAHOMA HAS BEEN PREPARING FOR AN INCURSION FOR FOR A VERY LONG TIME AT THIS POINT, AND WE\u2019RE POISED WE\u2019RE WE\u2019RE POISED TO RESPOND. SHOULD WE SEE NEW WORLD SCREWWORM IN IN OKLAHOMA NOW, OFFICIALS ARE AWARE SOME PEOPLE MAY BE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT THEY EAT BECAUSE OF THIS DEVELOPMENT, BUT THEY SAY OUR FOOD SUPPLY IS SAFE. A BIG HEADLINE THIS WEEK HERE. OKLAHOMA\u2019S PRIMARY ELECTION DAY IS THIS TUESDAY. VOTERS ACROSS THE STATE WILL BE WEIGHING IN ON SEVERAL KEY RACES, INCLUDING OUR NEXT GOVERNOR, ABOUT A DAY AND 22 HOURS. UNTIL THEN.
