Severe Weather Possible This Evening, Overnight, and into Early Wednesday MorningThere remains a slight risk of severe weather for NE Oklahoma with that threat increasing dramatically SE of I-40. For the
Tulsa area, large hail, damaging winds, and locally heavy rainfall are the primary threats. Some showers may be
in the area as early as 6:00PM but the round of severe storms will likely hold off until after 10:30PM. Here
is the SPC risk graphic for today. A major severe weather outbreak including multiple tornados is expected in the HIGH risk
area in far SE OK, NE Texas, Arkansas, Lousiana, Mississippi, and Tennessee.  Here is a model image of the simulated radar for 11:00PM this evening with strong to severe storms crossing
highway 75.  Things are expected to quiet down Wednesday afternoon through at least Friday night before another round
of severe storms comes through on Saturday.
More Severe Weather Expected This Evening. Especially Across SE OklahomaSevere storms with large hail, damaging wind, and locally heavy rainfall are expected across NE Oklahoma this evening and
overnight, mainly after 6:00pm. A significant severe weather outbreak is possible across SE Oklahoma this evening with tornado's
a good possibility. River flooding is on-going in far Eastern Oklahoma and any additional rain will only increase
the problems in those areas so please be very aware if traveling in those area and do not drive through water flowing
across a road as it only take a few inches of moving water to move your vehicle. Here is the SPC severe weather
threat graphic for today. This will likely be updated this afternoon and I will send that out in a later update.

and are tracking towards Tulsa.
***Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Watch Issued***From the National Weather Service in Tulsa 
As more data comes the possibility of
extremely large hail, very damaging winds, and large, long tracked, tornadoes across eastern Oklahoma is increasing.
A Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Watch
has been issued for all of eastern Oklahoma Effective until 10:00PM
...THIS IS A PARTICULARLY DANGEROUS
SITUATION...
DESTRUCTIVE TORNADOES...LARGE HAIL TO 4 INCHES IN
DIAMETER...
THUNDERSTORM WIND GUSTS TO 80 MPH...AND DANGEROUS LIGHTNING ARE

TORNADOES AND SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS IN AND CLOSE TO THE WATCH
AREA. PERSONS IN THESE AREAS
SHOULD BE ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
THREATENING WEATHER CONDITIONS AND LISTEN FOR LATER STATEMENTS
AND POSSIBLE WARNINGS.
If
you have any outdoor activities planned, please pay extremely close attention to the local media.
If you
will be attending an outdoor event this evening, please bring a battery powered radio and tune to AM740/FM102.3 KRMG for the
latest updates, watches, and warnings.
I will likely not
be issuing any more updates on this dangerous situation as I prefer everyone stay tuned to the local media for the most up
to date information.
Moderate Risk of Severe Weather in Tulsa, Greater Risk in SE OK.A potentially significant break of severe weather is still expected this evening.
Supercells with hail to the size
of baseballs, wind gusts to 80MPH, and possibly tornado's (including the threat for large tornado's) are expected
to approach the Tulsa area by 7:00pm this evening or possibly earlier. Some models are beginning to indicate the most significant
severe weather threat will be in SE Oklahoma but that severe weather is still expected across all of eastern Oklahoma.
There are many baseball games scheduled this evening for kids of all ages.
Please pay close attention to the local media for any watches or warnings that will be issued for your area and do not hesitate
to end a game early or call a game off if warning is issued for your area or for an area within 40 miles of you as lightning
strikes can occur away from the primary storm and families will need ample time to seek shelter.
Here
is a Tulsa NWS graphic indicating the times storms can be expected. The red line closest and to the left of Tulsa indicates
the closest the storms are expected to be to Tulsa at 7:00pm.
