Weather Radar Gets Upgrade Ahead of Rain

NWS-Tulsa

The National Weather Service radar site, which looks like a giant golf ball along Highway 412 west of Inola, is getting a complete upgrade. This is the first major system upgrade since the early 1990s. It will take about another week to calibrate the sight.

Meanwhile:

Showers and thunderstorms will increase later this morning as a
cold front approaches northeast Oklahoma. A few storms may
produce marginally severe wind gusts or hail through the
afternoon. The chance of thunderstorms will continue tonight as
the front stalls across southeast Oklahoma. While the severe
weather threat will diminish, there will be potential for locally
heavy rainfall through tonight.


Widespread rain with a few embedded thunderstorms will continue
through much of Sunday as the front begins to push farther south,
with heavy rainfall remaining possible. Another strong cold front
will result in the next chance of thunderstorms and heavy
rainfall by the latter half of next week.
