The City Council of the City of Oklahoma City has adopted a new "zone" outdoor warning siren activation policy.

From the press release linked below:

Sirens to sound in smaller areas

In...

I hope this event comes to a halt pretty quick. In December of 2007, my house which is in an area of Midwest City that is fairly densely populated with single family residences, was without...

Thanks for the updates. The #okwx twitter hashtag I normally follow had been curiously quiet with regard to forecasts today.

The article I linked reads differently than the article I saw last night. It appears instead of going to a "polygon" based activation, the City plans to divide the system into nine warning sectors....

It looks like the City of Oklahoma City is considering changing the siren activation policy from an "all call" to a "polygon" based system. A change is long overdue in my opinion. There is no point...

I have my prints framed by Michaels:

Thanks. I missed this post by Norman EM in my feed today. I am sure Emergency Management in both the City of Norman and, particularly, the City of Moore are very frustrated and with very good reason....

I am an outdoor warning siren enthusiast and I think Oklahoma City's siren policy is beyond absurd.

As I mentioned in the "Media" thread. If Oklahoma City does not have the "Weather Warn"...

Here is a graphic of the tornado warning issued this morning that, according to my blown out twitter feed, resulted in outdoor warning sirens in south Oklahoma City being sounded.

As I understand it, a fiber optic cable was cut or otherwise damaged in the Wayne, OK area. I saw a tweet this morning that the issue was repaired overnight.

Also, If you are using a radar application like GRLeve3 or RadarScope, as a result of the same issue affecting the weather radios, level 2 radar data has been intermittent. Level 3 seems to be OK....

With regard to Venture’s question, I have heard Oklahoma City’s siren activation policy expressed by official spokespersons both as being limited to “all of its sirens in the county for which a...

Here is just one versatile system including polygon based activation that is specifically designed to compliment Whelen Outdoor Warning Siren systems (the manufacturer of OKC's sirens). There are...

LocoAko beat me to the warning post and I cannot effectively edit mine.

See a my post above about software available for OKC's siren system that would limit siren activation to TOR polygons.

This is not the first tornado warning issued for the Purcell cell, but it is the first warning that might have clipped a tiny sliver of Oklahoma City.

At the very least, Oklahoma City's siren...

The City of Oklahoma City has 181 outdoor warning sirens and the policy is to sound all of them or none.

Oklahoma City has a state of the art, computer controlled, electronic outdoor warning siren...

Earlier today, I saw some of the YouTube videos of literal chaos in stores this morning.

When, in the experience of posters here, did black Friday become as crazy as it is in present times? Has...

I use RadarScope on both iPhone and Mac.

I would like to have the other as well. I can't find it in the iPhone App Store. Is it an iPhone app?

The 5 minute volume scans have been a huge painful thorn in this weather layman's paw since the NEXRAD radars came online. I am thankful that both places I usually have an interest in, OKC and...

June 8, 1974. The date of one of those "generational" tornado outbreak events.

I was fourteen at the time and that date is seared into my memory. Sunday will mark the fortieth anniversary of the...

Rick Smith, Warning Coordination Meteorologist at the National Weather Service office in Norman, has joined the WeatherBrains podcast as a regular panelist. The google Hangouts program is generally...

I remember the 23rd and Pennsylvania store and the Reding store (as well as the Midwest City store that burned to the ground in 1976) SoonerDave's description of the Christmas season at Sears of days...

Sadly, there are somewhat fewer as of today and at least one fewer BMW convertible.

My brother got to his home in Dallas. Fortunately, there were only some small tree branches down. He has power, but there is evidence it was out for a period. Love Field is about 2 miles northwest...
