Severe Storms Tonight, Tennis Tournament This Weekend, and Community Spirit in Tulsa
Published 1 week, 1 day ago
Description
Good morning, this is Tulsa Local Pulse for Saturday, April 18.
We start with the weather thats dominating our morning conversations. News On 6 meteorologist Travis Meyer warns of severe storms rolling into the Tulsa area around 9 to 10 PM tonight along I-44, bringing possible hail, strong winds up to 50 miles per hour, and isolated tornado risks, especially northwest of town near Osage County. These could impact evening drives on the Turner Turnpike, so we urge listeners to stay indoors after dark and monitor alerts. After the front passes by 2 AM, expect chilly mornings in the 40s with gusty winds to 25 miles per hour, warming to the 60s by afternoon under partly sunny skies perfect for daytime errands.
Shifting to safer ground, our University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane mens tennis team kicks off the American Conference Tournament today at 8 AM at the Michael D. Case Tennis Center on South Delaware Avenue. We cheer them on as they host 11 teams through Sunday, fighting for the title right here in our backyard.
Music fans, catch The Crane Wives rocking the Vanguard tonight at 8 PM a great way to beat the storm blues if youre tucked in early.
From city hall, no major votes this week, but were watching how last nights storms might delay routine maintenance on Riverside Drive bridges affecting your commutes.
In new business buzz, a restored 1950s Phillips 66 station in nearby Vinita reopened yesterday as a welcome hub, hinting at more vintage revamps possibly coming to Tulsas Route 66 corridor.
Job market stays steady with about 5,000 openings listed locally, many in energy and healthcare per recent postings, while median home prices hover around 280,000 dollars, up 3 percent from last month amid steady demand near Brookside.
Crime report from the past 24 hours stays calm no major incidents or arrests reported by Tulsa Police, though we remind everyone to secure properties ahead of tonight's winds.
Quick school shoutout Booker T. Washington High won their regional robotics challenge Thursday, showcasing our kids ingenuity.
And a feel-good note a south Tulsa neighborhood rallied to repair storm-damaged playgrounds at LaFortune Park, stronger together.
Upcoming, dont miss the Tulsa Farmers Market tomorrow at Guthrie Green.
