If anyone knows people or has family in Souix City, IA...get a hold of them. Two tornadic supercells moving through that area. One in the north part of the town and another on the south side.
Two new cells popping up SW of the Metro area near Rush Springs.
Entire line out west is now severe warned. Chat is going with streaming radar feed of Oklahoma and also for the Souix City area.
From KFOR Clinton cam...
Wow, great pic of a shelf cloud. Storms with those tend to be associated with high winds when they come in.
**THIS IS FOR IOWA, NOT OKLAHOMA**
Crazy night up in Iowa...this just came out...

Speaking of the bad weather in Iowa, according to KFOR, Reed Timmer has suffered an apparent seizure while in Iowa to observe severe weather. He is hospitalized in Sioux City.
Wa****a...ugh sorry... W a s h i t a... storm is the only severe one left now. Line is pretty much broken up into individual cells. Storm is moving due east now mostly. Golf ball hail and winds to 60 right now. It does have some rotation probably thanks to turn right some. It is 62 miles from the western Metro...so it will be here in under 2 hours if it holds together and stays on course.
On radar it looks like gust fronts are approaching OKC and Stillwater.
It seems to be raining.
And fairly hard.
It seems to have lessened.
Maybe even stopped.
(of course, without a radar, who knows?)
Not much of an event in my area of NW OKC.
Development zone is lagging behind front and looks to be stalled over SW OK.
Looks like entire I-44 corridor could see heavy rainfall amounts if this doesn't get a move on.
Watch for flooding later tonight/this morning.
Norman
Friday A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 81.
Friday Night A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 60.
Saturday A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 80.
Dallas
Friday Partly sunny, with a high near 85.
Friday Night Partly cloudy, with a low around 66.
Saturday A 20 percent chance of showers and thunderstorms. Partly sunny, with a high near 85.
Slight risk for SVR WX in panhandle later this week.
Rain chances coming into the eastern 2/3 of the state over the weekend.
Personally hoping Saturday is dry right now...
To tag on to Anon's post.
Slight Risk by SPC out in the panhandle Thursday.
Friday looks marginal. Maybe a borderline severe storms along and north/west of I-44 in central OK. Very isolated activity expected right now.
Saturday marginal to slight risk over Central OK. Isolated to scattered activity. Dallas wise for the game...moderate rain around 7AM continuing through the early afternoon. Chance the heaviest rain will push south of the Metroplex close to game time, but isolated/scattered showers will remain all weekend.
Sunday marginal to slight over Western and Southern OK. Heavier rain overnight into mid day Sunday, with isolated storms in the evening.
Monday marginal to slight over Northern through SW OK...roundly along/east of I-35 and I-44. Front pushes through moving the rain off to the east and south. Should be done here by very late Monday evening.
Overall accumulations we are looking at some places over an inch mainly Along and east of I-44. North and west of there would be half inch to an inch.
Sadly no snow in the forecast yet. Looks like a big time pool of cold air (for this time of year) will move in after the 17th over much of the country. Snow will be seen, possibly, for the first time this season over much of the Great Lakes down into Kentucky and WV.
Winter is coming.
Yay! Dryslot forecasting! Errr, I mean winter storm forecasting!
I, too, am hoping for a dry Saturday. At least until 4pm. Rescheduled that rained-out carwash lol. After that, I don't care what it does!
Still corrupting young minds
We haven't had a wet OU/TX game in awhile but it's looking like that is a possibility this Saturday. I remember in 2007 a big storm hit right as the game ended and everyone was soaked leaving the stadium/fair.
Models shying away from rain on Saturday. But bringing the pain heading into next week.
LOL
