Hospital association president paints dire picture if Medicaid cuts pass
SUMMARY: Oklahoma’s rural hospitals face severe cuts or closures due to proposed federal Medicaid reductions, warns Oklahoma Hospital Association President Rich Rasmussen. The U.S. House passed a bill cutting Medicaid funding while increasing spending on immigration, military, and tax extensions. Rural hospitals, often operating at a loss, rely heavily on Medicaid programs to stay open. Oklahoma funds Medicaid through hospital taxes matched by federal dollars, but the bill restricts raising hospital tax rates to offset funding losses. Without flexibility, rural hospitals may eliminate services like obstetrics or shut down, devastating communities economically and medically. Rasmussen hopes the Senate allows a grace period for tax adjustments.

TIMELINE: Oklahoma to see severe storms late Wednesday night (May 28, 2025)
SUMMARY: Severe storms are expected to impact Oklahoma late Wednesday night, May 28, 2025, starting from Colorado and Kansas, moving into northern Oklahoma. The tornado risk begins at level one, increasing to two near Oklahoma City, and briefly reaching four near Harper County and Buffalo, where large hail (golf ball to ping pong size) is possible. Storms will weaken near OKC but still pose a severe threat. Isolated storms may occur in northern Oklahoma during the afternoon.

TIMELINE: Oklahoma to see rain, storms on Memorial Day
SUMMARY: Oklahoma’s Memorial Day forecast includes a low chance of rain this morning into early afternoon, with increasing chances later, especially in western Oklahoma. Severe weather risk is low but possible late afternoon into evening due to a cold front bringing mid-level moisture and instability. Storms may produce hail up to ping-pong ball size (around 1 inch) and wind gusts of 50-60 mph, mainly in western and central Oklahoma. Tornado risk is minimal due to northerly winds. Rain and storms may linger into early Tuesday, though severe weather risk will be low then. Weather updates will continue throughout the day.
KOCO 5 Meteorologist Joseph Neubauer has your Memorial Day Forecast, saying rain is possible and there could be storms later this afternoon and evening.
