3:45 AM Wednesday: This noisy, slow-moving storm over the Tulsa metro has dropped a ton of rain. A Flash Flood Warning continues for Jenks, south Tulsa, Glenpool, Bixby, and Broken Arrow. Please be very careful driving early this morning. Do not drive into areas where water is covering the roads!!

8:15 PM: Another evening of summerlike heavy downpours. Like we saw yesterday evening, some of these could produce strong downburst winds when they fall apart.

7:20 AM: Heavy storms stretch from Bartlesville to Pryor to Tahlequah. These are very slow-moving and dropping a lot of rain in a short amount of time. Watch out for flooding! Areas of small hail are also possible along with some 40 mph wind gusts.

5:25 AM: Heavy storms are rumbling across Tulsa and surrounding areas. These storms are still producing strong wind gusts over 40 mph along with locally very heavy rains and some small hail. It'll be a slow and tough early morning drive if you have to hit the road as these storms roll through!

7:00 PM: Ring Around Tulsa! You can see the outflow surging out in all directions around the Tulsa metro as this downburst-producing storm quickly falls apart.

6:20 PM: A downburst is occurring over eastern sides of Tulsa spreading up toward the airport. You can see it in the velocity data (reds and greens rushing away from one another). 50-60 mph wind gusts could occur under this downburst.

6:05 PM: A heavy thunderstorm is developing right over Tulsa. Be aware: Storms like this one are capable of quickly producing downbursts as they bubble up and then quickly fall apart. Wind gusts over 50 mph could occur.

1:25 PM Wednesday: Rain & storms moving into southeastern OK and will continue to gradually spread north through the day and into this evening and tonight. Severe weather threats remain limited, but can't rule out one or two storms producing strong winds and a *very* low-end small funnel threat.

Jared. Freakin'. McCain.

1:40 PM: A slowwwwww-moving area of rain and storms will continue to gradually spread further east and northeast through the afternoon and into the evening. The good news: Severe weather threats are very limited! Locally heavy rains are the biggest concern today and over the next several days.

There we go, fellas. ⚡️🆙

7:50 PM: Severe storm stretching from Muskogee to Tahlequah continues to move southeast toward Lake Tenkiller with the potential for damaging 60 mph winds and large hail.

7:05 PM: Our most intense severe storm of the evening continues near Wagoner moving east-southeast toward Tahlequah. Damaging 60 mph winds and large hail threats continue. Other storms surrounding the Tulsa metro are not severe with some gusty winds and cores of smaller hail.

Here were the sights and sounds from Von Castor about 15-20 minutes ago near Skiatook as that nasty large hail-producing severe storm rolled through. 👀

5:50 PM: A nasty severe storm continues from Owasso to Collinsville tracking SE forward Catoosa and Claremore. Large hail is covering the ground and visibility is near zero! Stay home and stay off the roads as this storm blows through! Damaging 60+ mph wind potential is also increasing.

5:20 PM: Severe storm moving into far northern Tulsa County remains a large hail-producer with up to golf ball size hail and 60 mph winds possible as it tracks toward Skiatook and Collinsville. Also keeping an eye on some weak rotation with this storm.

3:33pm: Eeeek. This severe storm in western Osage County is producing golf ball size or larger hail in Burbank right now. Large hail possible up to Shidler as well. #okwx
