How We Track Severe Weather For This Area (73001)
This page tracks live severe weather alerts, radar updates, and nearby warnings for 73001. This specific location's boundary is used to focus the map, compare active National Weather Service alert polygons, and calculate exactly how far nearby severe weather threats are from this area.
Geographic Data Used For This Location
The following location-specific geographic values are utilized for tracking severe weather threats to this area. The internal point and bounding box summarize the location area, while the full geometry coordinate set is used to construct the actual boundary shown on the map and to perform our precise tracking calculations.

Location Boundary Data Source
For ZIP code pages, this website uses Census ZIP Code Tabulation Area data. ZCTAs are Census geographic areas that approximate ZIP code service areas for mapping and statistical use. Extreme Weather Tracking processes this geographic data into lightweight location-specific boundary files. The full coordinate geometry from each boundary file is used to draw the exact geographical area on our live map and compare that area against active weather alert polygons.

How Severe Weather Threat Distances Are Calculated For This Location
The distance values shown in the "Closest Severe Weather Threats" table — and used to trigger our browser-based alarm — represent the approximate edge-to-edge distance in miles between the 73001 boundary area and each active National Weather Service alert polygon. A distance of 0 miles means the alert polygon overlaps or is contained within the tracked location boundary.
Distances are not calculated from a single center point or internal point coordinate. Instead, the full boundary geometry of 73001 — the same coordinate set used to draw the location boundary on the map — is compared against the full polygon geometry of each active weather alert. This means a severe weather warning that is close to the edge of 73001 but not overlapping it will show a short but non-zero distance, while one that crosses into the boundary area will show 0 miles.
Live Severe Weather Tracking — FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

How can I tell which event is which when several alert polygons are stacked in the same location?
When multiple active alert polygons overlap at the same point on the map, the popup shows a stack of the alerts at that location. Each stacked alert includes the event name and alert time so users can review the active threats, compare recent updates, and open the specific warning details they care about. If only one alert is present at a location, users can hover over it or click it to view the alert description and instructions.
Can I remove certain alert categories if the map feels too cluttered?
Yes. Below the map, the alert category dropdown lets users temporarily enable or disable specific alert event names from the map and closest-threats table. This can make the severe weather map easier to read during busy weather periods. Users can re-enable filtered alerts from the same dropdown, and should always check whether any alert categories are filtered out so they do not miss important severe weather information affecting 73001.
Why do the alerts have different colors on the map and in the table?
The alert colors are used to visually group different severe weather threats. Tornado warnings are shown in red, thunderstorm-related alerts are shown in yellow, flooding and water-related alerts are shown in blue, fire and heat-related alerts are shown in orange, winter-weather alerts are shown in light blue, wind alerts are shown in white, and less-common alert types use a default brown color. The same general color grouping is also reflected in the closest-threats table labels.
Does the interactive map show expired warnings and alerts?
No. The map focuses on currently active alerts based on the official NWS timing information associated with each alert. Alerts that have already expired are not shown as active warning polygons on the live severe weather map.

Weather Data Sources, Radar Processing, & Severe Weather Tracking Methodology
Extreme Weather Tracking uses official United States weather datasets as raw input data for this severe weather tracking application. Instead of simply embedding external weather maps or republishing raw alert feeds, this website processes, transforms, organizes, filters, and visualizes multiple live weather datasets into a location-focused interactive severe weather monitoring system.
National Weather Service (NWS) Alert Processing
Severe weather alerts, warning polygons, event timing, and alert details are sourced from the National Weather Service. Extreme Weather Tracking processes this live alert data into interactive map overlays, categorized alert layers, color-coded polygon systems, stacked overlapping-alert interfaces, closest-threat calculations, browser-based alarm functionality, and location-specific severe weather tracking pages.
Raw NWS polygon coordinate data is transformed into customized interactive map layers with dynamically assigned styling rules, warning-category filtering, active/expired alert handling, polygon overlap detection, popup interfaces, category-specific visual grouping systems, zoomable map interactions, and quick-navigation links that can automatically focus and zoom the map toward specific severe weather threats near each page's dedicated geographical location. Alert polygons are also compared directly against tracked location boundaries to calculate approximate edge-to-edge severe weather threat distances for the specific location.
NOAA Radar Data Processing
Radar imagery displayed on this website is based on NOAA MRMS (Multi-Radar Multi-Sensor) weather radar datasets. Instead of directly embedding static NOAA radar images, Extreme Weather Tracking downloads raw NOAA radar reflectivity data, processes the binary radar grid values, converts the reflectivity measurements into custom-generated radar imagery, and builds optimized radar overlay layers for use within the interactive map system.
The radar processing pipeline includes decompressing NOAA GRIB2 radar datasets, exporting raw reflectivity grids, interpolating radar values, converting reflectivity intensities into customized radar color mappings, generating optimized PNG radar image chunks, and constructing radar overlay layers aligned to precise geographic coordinate boundaries. These processed radar layers are then combined with live NWS warning polygons and tracked location boundaries within the interactive map interface.
Weather Data Sources
Extreme Weather Tracking is not an official government weather service. Always follow instructions from the National Weather Service, local emergency management officials, and other official safety authorities during severe weather events.
