Forecasters warned that another round of severe weather may hit Oklahoma on Tuesday, less than 24 hours after a storm system spawned multiple tornadoes and left five people dead.

People in northern, western and southern Oklahoma should prepare for severe storms Tuesday afternoon and early evening, the National Weather Service said.

Meanwhile, rescuers combed through areas hardest hit when tornadoes tore across Oklahoma on Monday, killing at least five people and seriously or critically injuring at least 10 others.

Officials said they planned to release more detailed damage estimates Tuesday -- and decide how to manage cleanup efforts in areas where tornadoes left behind snapped utility poles, downed trees and severely damaged homes.

"Until daylight returns, most of those neighborhoods are going to be locked down. ... No one's going to be allowed to enter into there, including the owners of the homes. That's for their own safety," Oklahoma City Police Chief William Citty told reporters Monday night. "We'll re-evaluate that in the morning and determine exactly when and where we can allow people to go back into their homes."

Rescuers were searching a 30-square-mile area Monday night to look for victims and clear away downed power lines and other hazards, Oklahoma City Fire Chief Keith Bryant said.

"This was a significant storm and a deadly storm," Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett said.
Three people died in Cleveland County, just west of Tecumseh, said Albert Ashwood, director of Oklahoma Emergency Management. Two others were reported dead in Oklahoma County, the agency said.
