A pair of storms were responsible for dropping large hail across parts of Tulsa County late Monday night.

Hail up to golf ball size was reported when the storms were in Pawnee and Creek counties. The largest of the hail was seen in Oilton in Creek County. Luckily, the hail was not as large once it reached the Tulsa metro area -- about dime to nickel size -- but, it was still cause for concern.

A separate storm located to the north of Tulsa's storm prompted a severe thunderstorm warning for Osage, Tulsa and Washington counties after it too packed hail the size of nickels and wind gusts of 60 miles per hour.

A severe thunderstorm watch remains in effect for all of northeastern Oklahoma until 3 a.m. Tuesday morning. The thunderstorm watch includes the following counties: Cherokee, Craig, Creeke, Delaware, Dewey, Garfield, Kay, Major, Mayes, Muskogee, Noble, Nowata, Okfuskee, Okmulgee, Osage, Ottawa, Pawnee, Payne, Rogers, Tulsa, Wagoner and Washington.

Other storms formed earlier in the day in far southwestern Oklahoma, including one that was responsible for at least one tornado near Electra, Texas. NewsChannel 8 storm chasers were out all day, sending back video of large hail and wall clouds.

Another round of strong to severe storms is expected by Thursday.
