Tulsa, Oklahoma – Storms developing along an approaching cold front could bring pockets of severe weather to northeast Oklahoma late Tuesday, especially during the evening commute.
According to the National Weather Service in Tulsa, storms are expected to form between 4 p.m. and 10 p.m. Tuesday as the front moves into the region. A marginal risk (level 1 of 5) is in place, meaning isolated severe storms are possible but not widespread.
The primary threats include hail up to quarter size and wind gusts reaching 60 mph. Cities including Tulsa, Bartlesville, Muskogee, and McAlester could see storms develop quickly, with brief heavy rain and frequent lightning.
While the tornado threat remains low, any stronger storm could still produce localized impacts, particularly along highways like U.S. 75 and the I-44 corridor where sudden downpours may reduce visibility.
Residents should stay weather-aware Tuesday evening and have multiple ways to receive warnings. Storm chances will diminish later Tuesday night, though additional updates are expected as details become clearer.
