A severe storm tracked through eastern Oklahoma late into Monday night, with a confirmed tornado near Skiatook Lake around 9:15 p.m. The storm moved northeast toward Bartlesville before being absorbed by the squall line to the west. Witnesses reported seeing a large wedge tornado near Barnsdall, where damage has been reported.

The storms were expected to move east and potentially become stronger and more severe with hail, wind, and isolated tornadoes as the main threats. A tornado watch was in effect until 11 p.m. Monday, including Tulsa County. Meteorologist Kirsten Lang provided the forecast for severe weather expected Monday night.
