00:00There's been also a tornado threat in Tulsa and as the storm approached Tulsa from the southwest,
00:05Bristow, Oklahoma. Look at this. There's a confirmed tornado as well with Interstate 44
00:10in the foreground. And unfortunately, this is really just the beginning. The severe threat
00:14is ongoing with several watches that stretch into the overnight hours.
00:20Lots going on here from Michigan all the way down into places like Tulsa. There's the view
00:25in Tulsa, Oklahoma right now as a rotating storm has been moving through the north side of the city.
00:30Yeah, we've been watching this very closely, Jeff. Big concerns about such a populated area and you can
00:35still see a lot of lightning flashes, though it really looks like the worst of it, thankfully, is to the
00:40north.
00:41Yeah, this is, again, the setup here where we have multiple tornado threats. Two separate cells being
00:47warned as potentially tornadic here in Oklahoma, in northeast Oklahoma right now. Several different
00:52warnings, but as we kind of dial in first to the Tulsa area, it's the north side of Tulsa where
00:57this
00:57tornado threat is moving through the Owosso area. Switching over to the velocity scan, we're getting
01:02a pretty close look from the radar site to the storm itself. It's only about 17 miles, so we're
01:07looking in the low levels of the atmosphere, the lowest 1,000 feet, maybe 1,200 feet or so,
01:13more or less. So very low in the atmosphere here at the lowest elevation scan. And we have green inbound,
01:19red outbound. So the risk of a tornado is still present as it moves through Collinsville,
01:24very close to Owosso. Switching to a loop here, you can see the continuity of where this is tracked,
01:30barely, barely west and north, just by maybe three miles, two to three miles north of downtown Tulsa.
01:36So very much in the city. And now it's moving through the northern end of Tulsa County through
01:41Owosso and soon to roll into an area just northwest of Claremore into Rogers County of Oklahoma.
01:47The trajectory that this is taking still appears to be a little north of Claremore, but it's going to go
01:53into Oolaga. So some of these areas in the Tulsa metro, the northeastern suburbs, didn't mean to touch
01:59the screen and zoom us in there. Some of these areas just barely north and northeast of Tulsa proper
02:06from Owosso to Oolaga facing an ongoing tornado threat. And as we zoom out here, we can show you
02:13that tornado report. This is the report that correlates with the video we just showed you
02:18of the tornado that was kind of behind Interstate 44, just to the northwest of Bristow. And
02:24overall, again, we've seen pretty good continuity, strong continuity here with a long track supercell
02:30that has painted a stripe of rotation right through the north side of Tulsa, an immediate
02:36north and west side of downtown. And now it's going to pass just northwest of Claremore, Oklahoma. So the
02:42tornado warning in effect here for the area of northern Tulsa County and northwestern Rogers
02:47County. Also a little bit of southern Washington County of Oklahoma. That runs until 730 central
02:53time. Well south of Bartlesville, barely northwest of Claremore. Heading farther south, Aaron J. Jack
02:59is on this cell that's moving through northern Okfuskie County and southern Creek County of Oklahoma.
03:05And as we take a look at this one, still it's producing rotation here. We still have a pretty clear
03:09cut signal of rotation. The couplet showing red outbound, green inbound, and the area of rotation
03:14is still, I'm going to zoom in, try to get some small communities between Welty and Haydenville.
03:19If you're in either of those areas, Mason, Haydenville, Welty, you need to be down underground or get
03:23down into a storm cellar or storm shelter if you can. This is about to move into the area near
03:28Tuskegee,
03:29Oklahoma, into Creek County, Newby, and just west of Park Wheeler Corner. That's the tornado threat
03:34in that location as well.
