Osage County, Oklahoma — A severe thunderstorm is moving across west central Osage County and northwestern Pawnee County in northeastern Oklahoma this evening, and the National Weather Service in Tulsa has placed both counties under a Severe Thunderstorm Warning through 8:30 PM CST.

What is happening:

At 7:50 PM CST, radar showed a severe thunderstorm about 3 miles southeast of Red Rock, moving northeast at 40 mph. The storm is tracking toward Fairfax, Ralston, Burbank, and Apperson. A Tornado Watch also remains in effect until 3:00 AM CST for northeastern Oklahoma.

Local impacts:

The storm is capable of 60 mph wind gusts and penny-size hail. Winds that strong can damage roofs and siding and bring down tree limbs. Hail this size can dent vehicles and damage tender plants left outdoors.
