From Aaron Tuttle's Facebook:

" More Severe Weather Expected: Don't have time to break it all down right now, but it looks like an active week ahead across OK and S Plains. Should get a complex rolling through late Monday and then on Tuesday it looks like another tornado threat for C OK. Mid level winds a little weaker and moisture not as deep but both adequate enough for a couple of tornadoes. I'll have more later. Normally our OK tornado season wraps up about the first week of June, so let's hope this is it."

Dammit, I don't know how much more of this crap I can take.

Large hail is an indicator a storm has a significant amount of lift which is an ingredient for tornados to form. Other elements have to be there, too, but lack of lift is one of the reasons storms collapse as they move. The atmosphere is a very dynamic laboratory.
