⛈️ Early Friday morning chaos across central and western Oklahoma
Residents in Oklahoma City and across central and western Oklahoma experienced severe thunderstorms during the early hours of Friday, June 6, 2025. The system, marked by intense wind gusts and heavy rainfall, has already begun to shift east and south, gradually moving away from the OKC metro area.
As of 5:55 a.m. local time, storm warnings and watches remain in effect across multiple counties, while widespread power outages and storm damage continue to unfold.
⚠️ Current warnings and watches
A Severe Thunderstorm Warning has been issued for:
Canadian, Cleveland, Grady, Lincoln, McClain, Oklahoma, and Pottawatomie Counties.
A Severe Thunderstorm Watch, in effect until 8:00 a.m., currently includes a much broader area:
Alfalfa, Blaine, Canadian, Creek, Custer, Dewey, Garfield, Grant, Kay, Kingfisher, Lincoln, Logan, Major, Noble, Nowata, Oklahoma, Osage, Pawnee, Payne, Rogers, Roger Mills, Tulsa, and Wagoner Counties.
These warnings signal the potential for damaging winds, frequent lightning, and hail, with shifting conditions expected to bring continued threats throughout the morning hours.
🌪️ Storm damage and outages
Logan County is already reporting visible damage. According to Sheriff Damon Devereaux, Cimarron City has been affected by downed trees and localized destruction. These reports are part of a broader pattern of impact being felt across the region.
Power outages are growing in scope. At least 1,800 residents in Logan County are currently without electricity, and OG&E has confirmed 7,500 customers statewide are experiencing outages as a result of the storm system.
Crews are responding, but further disruptions are expected as the storm line continues moving across eastern and southern Oklahoma.
Stay weather aware this morning across Oklahoma—conditions remain volatile as storms migrate southeastward, and new warnings could be issued with little notice.
