7:06 PM A tornado watch has been issued to the north of the Tulsa area, effective until 1 AM. Tulsa isn’t included in the watch, but our chances for severe thunderstorms will increase as the night goes on. The front is slowly moving to the east and I’m expecting heavy rain and hail to be the greatest threats. However, there’s always a chance that severe thunderstorms can produce gusty winds and tornadoes.

I’m not out chasing, but I’m continuing to watch the weather as it moves into our area and I’ll upate this post as things develop.
6:30PM Several tornadoes have been reported in SW Oklahoma today. The severe weather threat continues.
