Severe Thunderstorm Watch #440

WW0440 Radar
This includes Tulsa, Muskogee, McAlester, Fayetteville, and Fort Smith.

1245 AM CDT WED JUL 24 2013

   THE NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER HAS ISSUED A

   * SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH FOR PORTIONS OF 
     NORTHWEST ARKANSAS
     EASTERN OKLAHOMA

   * EFFECTIVE THIS WEDNESDAY MORNING FROM 1245 AM UNTIL 600 AM CDT.

   * PRIMARY THREATS INCLUDE...
     SEVERAL DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH POSSIBLE
     SEVERAL LARGE HAIL EVENTS TO 1.5 INCHES IN DIAMETER POSSIBLE

These storms have a history of producing 76mph winds at Tulsa International Airport, and damage at the airport. I have not had a refreshed radar image from the Tulsa NEXRAD since about midnight, which leads me to believe maybe the radar has sustained damage and gone down. For alternate images, use the Tulsa Airport Tower Radar, Norman, or Fort Smith radar.
