Mesoscale Discussion 0945 Summary

Issued: 6:19 PM CDT, June 1, 2026
Area: Northeast Oklahoma

* A stalled outflow boundary is stretching across northeast Oklahoma, helping spark isolated thunderstorms near the Tulsa and Mayes County areas.
* The atmosphere is extremely unstable, meaning storms can rapidly intensify.
* However, wind shear is weak, making it difficult for storms to organize into long-lived severe thunderstorms.
* The main threats are:
* Hail up to 1.25 inches
* Wind gusts up to 60 mph
* Frequent lightning and heavy rain
* Some storms may briefly become severe, but widespread severe weather is not expected.
* A brief tornado cannot be ruled out, especially where storms interact with the outflow boundary, but the tornado threat remains very low.
* Tulsa has already received reports of 1-inch hail from an earlier storm.

SPC Bottom Line

✅ Thunderstorms may become briefly strong to severe.
✅ Isolated hail and gusty winds are the primary concerns.
⚠️ A brief tornado is possible but unlikely.
❌ A Severe Thunderstorm or Tornado Watch is not expected (5% watch probability).

For Northwest Rogers County: Keep an eye on any storms that develop along the boundary this evening, especially if they move out of the Tulsa area. While widespread severe weather isn’t anticipated, a stronger storm could still produce hail, strong winds, and a brief spin-up. 🌩️🌪️
