Storm chances return early morning Wednesday and Thursday as storm complexes move in from the NW. A Slight risk of severe weather mainly high winds and hail early Wednesday. Lower chances Friday...

The atmosphere further east is not as conducive but sometimes intense storms like this can stay together, and create their own mesocyclonic system.

If you expanded Tulsa to 621 sq mi it would include all of Tulsa County (587 sq mi) and parts of adjacent counties. Doing math the growth rate for between 2022-23 for Tulsa County was 5510 which...

Remember OKC city limits is 621 sq mi while Tulsa is only 186 sq mi. Expand Tulsa’s city limits to that size and I bet it’s close if not higher.

HRRR shows a couple isolated cells breaking the cap into central OK from 8-10 pm. We’ll see if it happens. Better chance of the northern counties getting some action from the dying squall line...

They are incorrect. This is the raw Census data: https://www.census.gov/data/tables/time-series/demo/popest/2020s-total-cities-and-towns.html

Tulsa pretty much has to grow with infill as it is...

Oops sorry about that. The 2023 total was correct but the numerical change was only +467.

This will be our first "hot" weekend - humid with temps close to 90 across the state Saturday and Sunday. Another storm system will clip N OK Monday morning and again Wednesday morning.

1. OKC: 702,767 +7,589
2. Tulsa: 411,894 +146
3. Norman: 130,406 +3,479

NW OK finally received decent rainfall yesterday which is great news for the drought situation there. Osage County, which had been in severe drought for well over a year, is now drought free.
...

Not returning anytime soon - the wet pattern looks to remain in place through at least the end of May. We could even see some flooding concerns if this verifies. June is our MCS season where we...

Rain and some embedded thunderstorms in western OK are slowly moving east toward OKC. Somewhat drier air across eastern OK is a limiting factor but that should change later tonight. 0.5-1” expected...

Storms moving through south-central OK including a severe cell that just went through Duncan. Southern parts of the OKC metro may get a storm in the next couple hours.

Looking toward the weekend...

Maybe Pivot needs to sell it to fund their other projects

Watching that “tail end Charlie” closely as it moves along I-40. These types of storms can often be tornadic since they have more inflow

The cap is still strong and will require enough daytime heating to break it. If the sun comes out from OKC north and you get temps up past 80 all of the other ingredients are there. The LLJ tonight...

Much better if you live near a Southwest hub. Lived in Denver for several years with the Companion Pass and would fly all kinds of random places for weekend trips because of the amount of nonstop...

Reasons I like Southwest:
1. Always on a 737
2. Board after A group with kids (fly enough or get their credit card and you always board with the A group anyway)
3. Usually cheaper fares than...

Yes to Sweetgreen!

Noticed Allegiant is ending its seasonal OKC and TUL-VPS flights early this summer - in early August vs early November last year. Anyone know why? I looked and XNA still has its nonstop flights to...

This last system dropped a lot of rain over many areas which was much-needed after a dry start to spring. Areas north and west of OKC are still below-normal, hopefully these next few storms spread...

Warm and windy through Wednesday before the next storm moves in late Wednesday. Best storm chances are Thursday and early Friday. Severe weather possible, will know more with the Monday model runs.

Love seeing the international airlines when they divert.

It looks like the storm is coming in a lot slower than originally forecasted? Very little activity across Oklahoma so far but Sunday chances have increased.
