New Oklahoma Weather App Updates Check Road Conditions Before Traveling

Just in time for the incoming severe weather in Oklahoma this weekend, there's been talk of an impressive new weather app that shows users live road conditions, road closures, and even cameras with live footage of Oklahoma roads. Have you heard of Drive Oklahoma?

Drive Oklahoma Updated & Folks Are Impressed

The app was originally debuted in 2021, but recent updates have made quite a difference in travel planning. Folks in the Stillwater Community Page Public Facebook group have been bragging about the live feed cameras and constant updates on road conditions.

When you download the app, you're taken through a short tutorial showing you how to interact with the map, what layers you can see, where to find important information and how to help improve the app.

How Can You View Live Weather Conditions Through The App?

If you're looking for live weather conditions, there are a few ways they've made it accessible. You can find it either at the "Road Conditions" tab on the homepage or through the RWIS layer on the map.

One of the easiest and quickest ways, though, to check the conditions of the road is to just check the cameras. Granted, there are not cameras on every road in the state, but there are several in the most trafficked areas in the state. If you're going through Oklahoma City, Tulsa, Lawton, Edmond, and towards the state lines in each direction, you'll get a few options to see the roads live.

The app also shows you traffic conditions - if traffic is at a stop or slowed, if there is an accident, or road closures, etc. That you'll find in Waze layer of the map, named after the Waze app.

There are quite a few things to explore on the app, but the map and the cameras seem to be the most exciting for most users. Have you used this app before? Tell us what  your favorite thing is to use on it through the app below.
