Tulsa, OK – Storms moving across the Tulsa metro Sunday afternoon are bringing lightning and the potential for hail up to 1 inch in diameter, especially north of I-40 as of 3:25PM.
According to the US National Weather Service in Tulsa, scattered showers and thunderstorms are continuing mainly north of Interstate 40, with isolated strong to severe storms possible west of Highway 75. The strongest cells could produce hail up to quarter size (around 1 inch), along with dangerous cloud-to-ground lightning.
Forecasters say precipitation is moving east at approximately 45 mph, meaning conditions can change quickly across Tulsa County and surrounding areas in northeast Oklahoma. Storm coverage is expected to steadily increase north of I-40 through the afternoon and early evening hours Sunday.
Drivers along I-40, Highway 75, and nearby roadways may encounter brief downpours and reduced visibility. Lightning poses a risk for anyone outdoors, including at parks, sporting events, or construction sites.
The National Weather Service urges residents to move indoors when thunder is heard and to remain alert for rapidly changing weather conditions. While not every storm will become severe, isolated stronger cells could develop with little notice.
More updates are expected throughout the evening as storms continue tracking east across the Tulsa area.
How are conditions in your neighborhood? Are you seeing hail or heavy rain near I-40 or Highway 75?
