Re: March 2020 - General Weather Discussion
Surprise thunderstorms have developed immediately west of OKC.
West sides of Edmond will be hit with the lead cell. Two more following behind that are taking similar pathing, maybe slightly further south.
Focus will likely be W/NW OKC.
Storms are showing some rotation. This will bring the primary threat of hail up.
Re: March 2020 - General Weather Discussion
Edmond is taking solid hail damage right now on the northern sides.
Next two storms coming up have smaller hail (for now)
Re: March 2020 - General Weather Discussion
Pea-sized hail at my house near 50 Penn.
I was out cutting the grass and had to run for cover!

Man, you and Swake need to start spraying your lawns, mine's still completely brown and I probably won't have to mow for another month. :D

How is that a surprise? It is Spring, not Winter
Re: March 2020 - General Weather Discussion
Surprise as in models did not forecast development in C OK this early in the day.
OKC is in the clear now, could still see the dryline action later on, as mentioned earlier - although the chances are low.

It definitely caught us by surprise in NE Edmond... I was out picking up food with no worries of hail damage but my wife's car got hit pretty good. My neighbors were all very surprised and frustrated too.
Re: March 2020 - General Weather Discussion
Hopefully the models catch up as spring goes along. They are blowing it so far.
Re: March 2020 - General Weather Discussion
Rain and thunderstorms are increasing in coverage across all of W and SW OK, these will continue to spread into C OK by late lunchtime.
Main threat will be localized flash-flooding.
Temperatures will be knocked down into the 60s with this storm, we will return to 70s by late week when our next shot at thunderstorms comes around.
Re: March 2020 - General Weather Discussion
Any idea when the rain will let up?

Late tonight. It will probably be cloudy tomorrow morning, then gradually clearing throughout the day.
