Tulsa hail storm history
Tulsa County·NOAA NCEI Storm Events Database·~75-day publication lag
Tulsa County sits in eastern Oklahoma where the Ozark Plateau meets Gulf moisture patterns, creating conditions favorable for organized severe thunderstorms capable of producing hail. The city's location along this boundary makes it part of a corridor where hail-producing supercells form regularly during spring months. Homeowners in Tulsa face measurable hail risk as a routine part of the regional severe weather pattern.
Check if your roof was damaged by recent hail
Hail risk in Tulsa peaks during April, May, and June, when atmospheric instability and wind shear align to favor supercell development. Secondary activity occurs in March and July as the seasonal pattern transitions. During these months, organized thunderstorms moving across eastern Oklahoma frequently produce hail capable of damaging roof shingles, siding, and vehicle surfaces.
