The National Weather Service is now pinpointing exactly where storms are located. This week, they have begun using a new warnings system. Instead of an entire county, only parts of the county will be named for a storm warning. The new system got its first test in northeastern Oklahoma Tuesday evening. If you live in a large county -- like Osage County -- you might live in one place -- like Grainola -- while the storm could be as far away as Prue, about 50 miles away. Under the old system, the entire county would be under a warning. But, the new system will only alert people in the path of the storm.

"They now show you exact area, warnings in effect for," says NewsChannel 8 Chief Meteorologist Frank Mitchell.

Under the current system, there could be a severe thunderstorm warning in Tulsa County. Down south in Jenks, it could be clear, not a drop in the sky. Up north by Owasso, you could be caught in a thunderstorm.

"Instead of bothering an entire county full of people, we're now telling the part of the county that needs to worry about it," Mitchell says.

It's the National Weather Service new warning system, a polygon shape on the radar that outlines where people should be concerned. And, you'll see changes during the forecast.

"We'll just describe what part of the county and zoom into towns with within polygons say these towns should take cover."

That's good news down in Jenks, where they're preparing for Friday's game against Muskogee.

"If there's lightning, bad weather, we head inside and ride it out."

Tuesday, there were clouds in the sky. But, the storms stayed in northern Tulsa County, letting these Trojans get on with practice.

"It allows more people to go on with normal life and normal activities," says head coach Allan Trimble.

"It's a good thing because not everybody has to be alarmed."

Now, Frank and the storm team will use north, south, east and west directions to describe which part of the county is under a warning, plus landmarks like rivers and highways.
