Tulsa, OK – Severe thunderstorms are expected to sweep across northeastern Oklahoma starting Saturday evening and continuing into early Sunday, with large hail, damaging winds and potential tornadoes posing a significant threat.
According to the National Weather Service Tulsa office, areas including Tulsa, Bartlesville, Miami, and Claremore are under a marginal to slight risk for severe weather beginning Saturday, March 29, through Sunday morning, March 30. Wind gusts between 60–70 mph and hail up to golf ball size are possible. The system could also spawn isolated tornadoes depending on storm development.
Communities across eastern Oklahoma and bordering parts of northwest Arkansas should prepare for rapidly changing conditions. Residents are urged to review shelter plans, enable weather alerts, and reconsider outdoor weekend plans.
The timing and path of the storm remain uncertain. A faster-moving system may shift the threat zone eastward, impacting additional areas across the Arkansas-Oklahoma border by late Sunday. Severe weather probabilities remain at 15–30% across much of the region.
