Several tornados have moved through Oklahoma on Saturday. Strong winds, rain, hail, and flooding have caused damage to Norman, Sulphur, Stillwater, and more towns across the state.
All of the Tulsa metro and back to the south and west have some warnings as of 11:45. We have multiple ongoing tornado warnings in Osage County and portions of Creek, Okfuskee, and Okmulgee County. Severe thunderstorms from Bartlesville all the way south to Henryetta. It will be a long night of storms with more to come.
Outages Across Oklahoma:
Northeast Oklahoma has various power companies and electric co-operatives, many with overlapping areas of coverage. Below is a link to various outage maps.

Saturday morning to midday there will be a slight chance of a few showers or storms developing in the warm sector across central and eastern OK as strong southeast winds continue from 20 to 40 mph.
The next powerful upper air trough will be advancing eastward and may also trigger a few showers or storms by early afternoon along and west of I-35.
A dry line is expected to be located across west-central OK where additional super cellular storms are likely to develop by late afternoon and early evening. This activity will move northeast across part of central OK and eventually enter sections of eastern OK Saturday evening.
All modes of severe weather will be likely. As the low-level jet strengthens shortly after sunset, the potential for tornadic activity may increase.
Later in the evening, storms will tend to form line segments as the upper flow becomes more parallel to a weak pacific front that will overtake the dry line as it moves west to east. The severe threats will continue but also morph into a heavy rainfall and flash flooding chance for some locations.
Some of these storms may persist into the overnight hours into early Sunday morning but should also gradually weaken as they slowly move east after early Sunday morning.
There will remain a chance for some redevelopment Sunday afternoon across the far eastern sections of the state, but greater upper-level forcing will be slightly north of the region.
