Tulsa, OK – Thunderstorms are expected to increase across eastern Oklahoma late Sunday morning, with the strongest activity forecast between 10 a.m. and 7 p.m., according to the National Weather Service in Tulsa.
Forecasters reported that scattered storms will develop by midday, with coverage expanding through the afternoon and evening. The probability of thunderstorms during this time ranges from 40% to 60%, especially around Tulsa, Muskogee, and Bartlesville.
According to the NWS, primary threats include locally gusty winds, cloud-to-ground lightning, heavy downpours, and hail with the strongest storms. While tornado potential remains low, officials caution that isolated severe storms cannot be ruled out.
Residents are urged to remain indoors during lightning and thunder, avoid flooded roads, and monitor conditions closely. Rainfall totals could reach 1–3 inches in many areas through Tuesday, with isolated amounts of 4–7 inches, raising flash flood concerns.
The active weather pattern is expected to continue into Sunday night and early Monday, with multiple rounds of storms possible through midweek. Conditions may begin to improve by late week as drier weather moves into the region.
