5:35pm: Scattered storms are developing just northwest of Tulsa out ahead of the cold front.

These look to be headed toward Tulsa after 6 PM. Folks with outdoor plans (like Oktoberfest) need to be ready to find some shelter. #okwx

When Bob’s OU teams lost to Texas, they’d come out like monsters and demolish whoever they played the following week.

This wasn’t exactly that (on the scoreboard), but they did dominate today. Mission still accomplished.

I’ll certainly take a cathartic road win.

1:25 PM: Severe weather threats are now clearing out of eastern Oklahoma as storms race into Arkansas and Missouri.

We'll have one more opportunity for a few strong storms along the cold front later this evening when the front surges into northeastern Oklahoma. #okwx

12:25 PM: Strong storms continue to firm up into a solid line in far southeastern Oklahoma. Wind gusts up to 50 mph are possible as these get closer to the Arkansas state line.

Other heavy thunderstorms in far northeastern Oklahoma could also produce wind gusts up to 40 mph. #okwx

Is it bad that we’re still terrible at some of the fundamentals in Year 4?

Seems bad.

A Severe Thunderstorm Watch is in effect until 6 PM across far eastern and southeastern Oklahoma. Tulsa is not included.

As storms continue to spread east this afternoon, some could become severe with damaging wind and hail potential. #okwx

11:20 AM: Other areas of heavy thunderstorms are underway from Bartlesville to Coffeyville and from McAlester to Eufaula.

These are all generally spreading northeast. Strong winds over 40 mph are the primary threat for the moment along with lightning and locally heavy rains. #okwx

Also Tulsa friends, a heads up if you have Oktoberfest plans later today:

Tulsa Oktoberfest has delayed their opening until 2 PM due to the weather. Plan accordingly!

10:00am: Already had a few clusters of storms in spots this morning, and now the main wave is developing off to our west.

A few severe storms could occur in eastern OK from late morning into early-mid afternoon with damaging wind and hail threats. #okwx

Around sunset the cold front will be surging into eastern Oklahoma, and that should shove the rest of the rain away and bring us brisk north winds Saturday night. #okwx (3/3)

As storms start to spread east of Tulsa during the afternoon, some could become severe.

By mid-late afternoon Saturday the severe threats should exit into Arkansas, though lingering rain (and some potentially very gusty winds) look to continue through late afternoon. #okwx (2/3)

Keep an eye on the radar Saturday and be prepared for some wet weather!

A few scattered storms are possible near and north of Tulsa pre-dawn Saturday morning. A better chance of storms across eastern Oklahoma arrives by late morning and continues into the afternoon. #okwx (1/3)

Wet weather also looks to continue Saturday afternoon for tailgating, unfortunately, along with some potentially very gusty winds.

Rain chances look to diminish just in time for kickoff though! And the cold front looks to push in after kickoff with some brisk north winds developing during the game.

Scattered rain and storm chances increase Saturday morning in Stillwater and wet weather is possible for the Homecoming Parade. I'd pack the rain gear!

It's OSU Homecoming weekend in Stillwater and the weather be a factor, particularly Saturday. Here's a mini-thread breakdown:

Things are looking good *this* evening for the Homecoming Walkaround! It'll be warm & breezy but staying dry. The storm chances should hold off until near/after midnight.

Our long-awaited cold front is getting closer and closer! IT'S ABOUT TIME.

But scattered storms Saturday will interrupt some outdoor plans.

The cold front blows through Saturday night with AMAZING fall weather Sunday! We'll get a whiplash warm-up Monday before another cold front arrives. #okwx

Still not feeling like fall around here, but Tulsa found some fall weather for their game this evening... all the way out in the Carolinas!

It'll be crisp and cool for TU's game against East Carolina.
