Drove out about 40 minutes north of the city and they were faintly visible to the naked eye. Short exposure on my cell phone brought out more colors. I would assume lower light pollution areas closer...

And now there is a tornado warning for the SE Metro.

Could easily be 80 mph winds heading towards Moore right now. Not a tornado, but still a very dangerous storm.

Yes, this current round should be it for the Metro.

Looks to be mostly a damaging wind threat with that South Metro storm at this time.

Ping pong ball sized hail reported with that Gracemont storm.

Think it’s safe to say that initiation has occurred just SW of Arnett. Tend to think that it might be a pretty slow ramp up in terms of intensification over the next 2-3 hours, but that things could...

Looks like the Ellis County storm is just about ready to go, though no lightning strikes as of right now.

Here’s another special sounding from just before 1:00. With that cap, would think it will be difficult (but not impossible) for anything to initiate via the confluence zone ahead of the dryline as...

Norman did a special sounding at 18z (1 p.m.), I believe they have plans to do another special one at 4 p.m. and then the usual one at 7 p.m. provided there aren’t storms in the area by then.

Sitting in Clinton at the moment, low cloud cover has completely burned off here. Currently just some fair-weather cumulus but the CU field is more agitated just across the OK/TX border in the...

Looking at satellite imagery, I see mostly cloudy skies as far west as the easternmost tier of counties in the Texas Panhandle at the moment, with the clearing line moving east (however, the dryline...

I have also been experiencing this intermittently, it seems to be most common between 7 a.m. and 8 a.m. for whatever reason.

You are pretty much dead-on, High Risk upgrade coming for much of the Metro at 8:00.

SPC considered going with a High Risk right off the bat, but ultimately decided on a Moderate Risk with the potential for a later upgrade. Additional outlooks should come out at around 8:00a, 11:30a,...

As they so often do, NWS Norman has been messaging this exactly right, IMO. We are so fortunate to have them looking out for us.

Tomorrow's parameters are obviously concerning if something is able to initiate W/SW of the Metro, which is a solution that the short-range models are increasingly latching onto as a possibility. At...

Storms are now weakening more rapidly and the hail threat appears to be over.

Storms appear to be weakening but still a nonzero threat of marginally severe hail; highest from Tuttle up into Mustang and Yukon at the moment.

Complex of elevated storms is looking to make a run towards at least the west Metro over the next hour or two. Marginally severe hail should be the main threat.

Monday looks like a very volatile environment but I suspect that much of the convection will end up occurring north of the KS/OK border. Certainly still worth keeping an eye on, especially because I...

What is currently a weird spur that serves next to no purpose will make a lot more sense and presumably collect a lot more traffic once they finally extend it down to I-35 between Noble and Purcell....

This is exactly how I felt a few days ago when I realized there’s now a Fuzzy’s where the Freddy’s at May & NW 73rd used to be.

Garden City is much closer to the intersection of the surface low, dryline, and warm front which will likely provide enough forcing for at least isolated convection up there. As far as OKC is...
