3:30 a.m. — A line of strong thunderstorms is moving into the Tulsa area early Tuesday, bringing gusty winds, thunder and lightning across parts of northeastern Oklahoma.

The storms are below severe levels, though they are noisy with frequent lightning and winds up to 40 miles per hour. These storms are moving east at about 30 to 40 miles per hour.

The area near and south of Tulsa is seeing higher instability, which could allow for stronger storms to develop as the system moves through the region. While Tulsa could see some severe weather early in the morning, the focus is expected to shift southward toward areas along and south of Interstate 40 as the morning progresses.

Timeline of Storms

1. 3:32 a.m. – Strong thunderstorms were reported near Mannford, moving east toward the Tulsa metro.
2. 3:46 a.m. – Storms are expected to approach Oologah in Rogers County.
3. 3:50 a.m. – Thunderstorms should move into Sapulpa.
4. 4:00 a.m. – Rain and storms could reach Tulsa International Airport.

Storms are expected to gradually shift east throughout the morning, with the highest severe threat likely to develop south of Tulsa — near McAlester, Lake Eufaula, and Muskogee — where instability is greatest.

Although no warnings are in effect or the immediate surrounding area as of early Tuesday, residents should remain weather-aware throughout the morning hours.
