Additionally, the National Weather Service has issued a flash flood warning for several counties in northeastern Oklahoma, including northeastern Creek, southeastern Osage, and parts of Tulsa County, valid until 7:30 AM CDT. Doppler radar has reported heavy rainfall of 1 to 2 inches in the area, with expectations of additional rain amounts leading to flash flooding in urban areas, highways, and other low-lying regions.
A flood watch remains in effect through Monday evening, with predictions of up to 7 inches of rain total across affected areas, particularly in eastern Oklahoma and northwest Arkansas. Residents in these regions should remain vigilant and monitor updates, as flash flooding and river flooding may develop due to the persistent heavy rainfall.
A flood advisory is also currently active until 7 AM CDT, addressing urban and small stream flooding caused by the excessive rainfall. Areas such as Tulsa, Broken Arrow, and others will likely see minor flooding, with Doppler radar indicating cumulative rainfall may reach significant levels.
Responding to this severe weather, residents are advised to take precautions, including staying indoors and avoiding flooded roads. The warning serves as a reminder to be cautious, especially at night when visibility is reduced.
This situation emphasizes the importance of preparing for extreme weather events and having a safety plan in mind. Those in flood-prone areas should be ready to act quickly should flooding become imminent.
