Local weather teams, live

Heads up: the stations go live mostly when weather is active. On calm days a player may say the stream is offline or show a recent video. That just means it's a quiet sky. Check back when storms are in the forecast.

Official outlooks

• NWS Norman: local forecast, radar and warnings for central Oklahoma
• Storm Prediction Center outlook: the 1–8 day severe weather map (it's right down the road in Norman)

Storm day checklist (the 2-minute version)

• Get alerts more than one way. Phone emergency alerts on, a weather app, and a NOAA Weather Radio if you have one. Outdoor sirens are made for people outside, so don't count on hearing them indoors.
• Know your county. Warnings are issued by county and area. Oklahoma, Cleveland and Canadian counties cover most of the metro.
• Watch vs. warning. A watch means conditions are right, so keep an eye out. A warning means it's happening or about to, so head to your safe spot.
• Pick your safe spot now. A storm shelter or safe room is best. Otherwise go to the lowest floor, in a small interior room away from windows.
• Charge up. Phones and power banks topped off, with a flashlight handy.
• Shoes on, helmets handy. Sturdy shoes for everyone, plus bike helmets for the kiddos if you've got them.
• Pets ready. Leashes and carriers by the door so nobody's chasing the cat at go-time.
• Afterward, stay clear of downed power lines and let family know you're OK.
