Timeline:

10:45 p.m.: Main line of severe storms has moved out of Oklahoma BUT additional storm development is possible across southeastern OK tonight. One storm near Ada trying to start. This next round may pulse severe and could last until 1 AM before moving out of state. More likely storm zone would be I-40 south with a lesser chance north up to I-44.

8:10 p.m.: For the first time in a while, there are NO more active Tornado Warnings in eastern Oklahoma! Storm development has struggled in areas northwest of Tulsa and storm chances may be starting to decrease there. But we do think there is another potential line of severe storms on the way later tonight that could move from southern Oklahoma back into parts of eastern and southeastern Oklahoma. We’ll be watching closely to see if that develops!

7:30 p.m.: Tornado Warning in Le Flore County with a small tornado confirmed very near Panama moving NE. This tornado may dissipate quickly, but take your tornado precautions around Panama!

WATCH: Tornado in Pittsburg County, Oklahoma caught on camera

5:39 pm.: Tornado Warning in southern Pittsburg County. A confirmed tornado was near Wardville heading northeast toward Kiowa and Savanna. This could eventually track toward McAlester as well. Take cover now!!

5:25 p.m.: Tornado is trying to redevelop in Adair County near Christie heading toward Going Snake. Take cover from Going Snake to Chance, Westville, and Watts!

5:15 pm.: A brief tornado very well may have spun up over or *just* northeast of Tahlequah towards Briggs. Velocity has weakened a bit, but a tornado still possible northeast of Eldon heading quickly NE into Adair County. Take shelter across northern Adair County!

4:56 p.m.: Tornado Warning NOW for Tahlequah. Possible tornado is moving right over the city. Take cover Even if there isn’t a tornado, damaging winds up to 80 mph could occur.

4:42 p.m.: Damaging 60+ mph winds moving quickly from Fort Gibson to Tahlequah, and there’s some concern about rotating trying to increase here as we look at the velocities. Need to watch this one closely. Take proper shelter from the wind across Cherokee County!

4:25 p.m.: Severe storms moving northeast of Tulsa and from Muskogee to Tahlequah will pack quite a punch with damaging 60-70 mph wind gusts and cores of large hail.Tornado threats remain limited at the moment, but that could change soon so we’re watching very closely.

4:00 p.m.: Very stormy all across the Tulsa metro as multiple severe storms expand and move quickly NE. Hail up to golf ball size remains possible along with bursts of damaging 60 mph winds. Also a ton of rain in a short amount of time. Another severe storm cluster with hail and very strong winds is moving across McIntosh County into Muskogee County.

3:35 p.m.: Damaging golf ball size hail is still possible as this severe storm in Okmulgee County moves rapidly NNE into the Tulsa metro. Get the cars in the garage!

3:15 p.m.: Severe T-Storm Warning across Okfuskee County near Okemah. Big hail larger than golf ball size is possible as that moves north-northeast into Okmulgee County. Would be an impact for the Tulsa metro by 4 PM if it holds together.

2:50 p.m.: A Tornado Warning is in effect in Hughes County just west of our viewing area. A likely tornado is ongoing near the town of Allen. If this holds together, it would approach western McIntosh County and/or southern Okfuskee County by 3:30pm or earlier. Be prepared in these areas!

1:55 p.m.: Severe storms stretching from Nowata to Adair are moving quickly northeast. Large hail and damaging 60 mph winds are the primary threats right now. We’re keeping a close eye on more storms developing west of Tulsa. Severe threats could increase as those storms move into northeastern Oklahoma.

Early Afternoon (1 p.m. – 5 p.m)

First round of storms possible along and east of I-35, ahead of the dryline.
Storms may become severe quickly.
These storms would expand quickly across eastern Oklahoma from about 1 to 3 p.m. and will rapidly become severe with all modes of severe weather possible. Severe storms could be a big impact for kids coming home from school this afternoon, so plan ahead and be aware. This first round will continue up to the 5 PM rush hour drive.

Late Afternoon to Late Evening (5 p.m. – Midnight)

The second wave of storms is expected to develop along the dryline, moving into central Oklahoma.
Increasing instability and energy from a warm front will enhance the severe weather risk.
Around 5 to 6 p.m. as the first round of severe storms continues across far eastern/southeastern Oklahoma, another round of severe storms looks likely to fire up along the dryline in central Oklahoma and then move back into eastern Oklahoma. Once again, these evening storms look to be intense with very large hail, damaging winds, and tornadoes all possible through the 10 PM hour.
After 10 to 11 p.m., our biggest rounds of severe weather should be exiting further east toward Arkansas. One more round of scattered strong to severe storms with hail and wind threats will be possible from about 11 PM through the overnight hours as the cold front arrives. Once that cold front surges through Tuesday morning, our storm threats will come to an end.

Overnight (Midnight – 3 a.m.)

Final round of storms likely as a surface cold front moves through the region.
Severe weather remains possible.
