Not sure what is going on with the storm SW of Marshall. Chasers are moving in on them. On that radar image, the white color on the hail size image that typically shows over 4 inches in diameter. I doubt we are close to that, but there must be tons of hail pouring down and a lot of rain.

Southern Kingfisher County storms are moving more to the SE now and will likely impact Oklahoma County if they stay together.

This will basically miss Del City, MWC, and south OKC?

Spotter report on the storm near Okarche, the back one. Wall cloud is being observed. There is rotation in the area but cannot confirm on the ground due to it being too dark.

This will basically miss Del City, MWC, and south OKC?

If they dive SE, no. Should clip the vast majority of the Metro Area.

Some nice pics from the storm earlier out west that was tornado warned. BEAUTIFUL structure...wonderful striations, a beaver tail....just awesome.

4/30/09 Report : OK - Stormtrack (http://www.stormtrack.org/forum/showthread.php?t=20501)

If they dive SE, no. Should clip the vast majority of the Metro Area.

I thought that you said these storms will ride on the outflow line and that the north part of the metro will see rain. Wasn't sure on understanding it. I need to go wash my work clothes. lol

Two areas of rotation right now that will impact the metro. One is 7.9 miles to the NE of Piedmont. The other is moving into Okarche in the next few minutes or about 15 miles to the ENE of Piedmont.

Right now the most dangerous storm is moving away from the metro by Marshall with baseball sized hail.

AREAS AFFECTED...OK

CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 218...

VALID 010441Z - 010545Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WATCH 218
CONTINUES.

AN ISOLATED SEVERE THREAT SHOULD CONTINUE ACROSS THE ERN PART OF WW
218 AND MAY AFFECT AREAS EAST OF THE WATCH LATER TONIGHT. LARGE HAIL
AND ISOLATED WIND DAMAGE WOULD LIKELY BE THE PRIMARY THREATS. A NEW
WW MAY BE NEEDED ACROSS PARTS OF NRN AND ERN OK.

THE CONVECTION ONGOING IN NRN OK IS LOCATED ALONG AN OUTFLOW
BOUNDARY AND IS ON THE NRN EDGE OF A GRADIENT OF MODERATE TO STRONG
INSTABILITY. THE SMALL CLUSTER OF STORMS IS LIKELY ASSOCIATED WITH A
WEAK DISTURBANCE EVIDENT ON WATER VAPOR IMAGERY AND IS EXPECTED TO
RIDE ESEWD ALONG THIS GRADIENT FOR SEVERAL MORE HOURS. THE LATEST
PROFILER AT TULSA SHOWS ABOUT 35 KT OF VERTICAL SHEAR AND THE SHEAR
SHOULD BECOME SLIGHTLY MORE FAVORABLE AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET INCREASES
TONIGHT. THIS COMBINED WITH THE INSTABILITY SHOULD SUSTAIN THE
CLUSTER EWD ACROSS NERN OK. ALTHOUGH THE ACTIVITY MAY BE SLIGHTLY
ELEVATED...DOWNDRAFTS SHOULD BE STRONG ENOUGH FOR AN ISOLATED WIND
DAMAGE THREAT. HAIL WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE MORE INTENSE CELLS.

Here I am, washing clothes at mom's. I'll be getting my own washer/dryer next week.

That storm does not look right to me, especially the lightnings. I haven't seen any lines, just flashes. These are numerous frequent lightnings in a very short flash. It felt evil.

This is interesting. Gary and Jed on News 9 is the only ones keep talking about this storm nonstop.

Like they pointed out on TV9, outflow boundary on the right side of the storm pretty much will eliminate any tornado threat. This is a hail storm through and through.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
1244 AM CDT FRI MAY 01 2009

VALID 011200Z - 021200Z

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS ACROSS A LARGE PART OF THE SRN
PLNS EWD INTO THE MID-SOUTH AND OH/TN VLYS...

...SYNOPSIS...
UPR TROUGH WILL DEEPEN SLIGHTLY ACROSS THE MIDWEST...GREAT LAKES AND
NERN STATES ON FRIDAY AS THE HUDSON BAY VORTEX REPOSITIONS SWD. A
SEPARATE BELT OF MODEST FLOW WILL EXIST ACROSS THE SRN PLNS INTO THE
MID-ATLANTIC REGION. EMBEDDED CONVECTIVELY ENHANCED DISTURBANCES
WILL EXIST WITHIN THIS JET. NEXT MID-LVL SHORTWAVE TROUGH...NOW
OVER THE ERN PACIFIC BASIN...WILL QUICKLY TRANSLATE EWD...ARRIVING
INTO CA BY EARLY SATURDAY.

IN THE LWR LEVELS...SYNOPTIC CDFNT TIED TO THE AMPLIFYING NRN STREAM
UPR WAVE WILL SETTLE SEWD...REACHING NEW ENGLAND...THE OH VLY...AND
SRN PLNS STATES BY FRIDAY NIGHT. A MYRIAD OF PRE-FRONTAL OUTFLOW
BOUNDARIES WILL LIKELY EXIST THROUGHOUT THE OH/TN/LWR MS VLYS AND
SRN PLNS. A DRYLINE WILL MIX EWD INTO NWRN TX AND THE ERN EDWARDS
PLATEAU.

...SRN PLNS INTO THE MID-SOUTH...
SEVERAL TSTM CLUSTERS ARE EXPECTED TO BE ONGOING FRIDAY MORNING
ACROSS THE OZARKS AND ERN OK ALONG THE NOSE OF A VEERING LLJ.
STORMS MAY ALREADY BE PRODUCING LARGE HAIL AND GUSTY WINDS. AIR
MASS DOWNSTREAM ACROSS THE MID-SOUTH WILL LIKELY HEAT SIMILAR TO
THURSDAY AND MAY BE COMPARATIVELY MORE UNSTABLE OWING TO STEEPER
MID-LVL LAPSE RATES WITH MLCAPES OF 1500-2000 J/KG EXPECTED. THE
FLOW ALOFT WILL BE SOMEWHAT WEAK...WELL REMOVED FROM THE PRIMARY
TROUGH ACROSS THE MIDWEST. HOWEVER...CORRIDORS OF STRONGER FLOW MAY
EVOLVE WITH ANY MCV THAT MAY DEVELOP...AND GIVEN AT LEAST MODEST
BUOYANCY...MULTICELL STORMS MAY PRODUCE SPORADIC DMGG WIND AND LARGE
HAIL.

HIGHER SVR PROBABILITIES WILL DEVELOP UPSTREAM BY LATE FRIDAY AFTN
AND EVENING. TRAILING OUTFLOW FROM OVERNIGHT STORMS WILL LIKELY
STALL ACROSS SRN OK AND ADJOIN WITH A TRIPLE POINT OVER FAR SW
OK/WRN N TX. STRONG HEATING IN COMBINATION WITH MID-UPR 60S SFC DEW
POINTS AND 8-8.5 C/KM MID-LVL LAPSE RATES WILL CONTRIBUTE TO AN
EXTREME UNSTABLE ENVIRONMENT OVER SRN OK/NRN TX WITH MLCAPES OF
3000-4000 J/KG. AS SBCINH WEAKENS...INGREDIENTS WILL BE FAVORABLE
FOR RAPID TSTM INITIATION INVOF THE TRIPLE POINT AND POINTS EWD
ALONG/N OF THE OUTFLOW BOUNDARY. BULK SHEAR OF 30-35 KTS AND
EXTREME INSTABILITY WILL RESULT IN SUPERCELLS WITH VERY LARGE HAIL.
A FEW TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH MATURING DISCRETE CELLS ACROSS
EXTREME SWRN OK AND WRN N TX THROUGH EARLY EVENING. ANY SUPERCELL
SPLITS WILL MOVE NWD...POSSIBLY INTO CNTRL OK DURING THE EVE WITH A
LARGE HAIL THREAT.

WNWLY H5 FLOW OF 30-35 KTS AND PERSISTENT MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER
INFLOW DURING THE EVENING ALONG WITH GROWING COLD POOLS MAY LEAD TO
A FORWARD PROPAGATING MCS /BOW ECHO/ THAT DEVELOPS ACROSS SRN OK AND
N TX...WITH THE APEX FAVORING THE EVENTUAL RESTING PLACE OF THE
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY...PROBABLY INVOF THE RED RIVER FRIDAY EVENING.
DMGG WINDS AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE LIKELY. TAIL-END OF THE MCS MAY
CONTINUE TO BACKBUILD SEWD TOWARD I-20 AND MAINTAIN CYCLIC SUPERCELL
CHARACTER INTO LATE EVE WITH DMGG WINDS/LARGE HAIL AND ISOLD
TORNADOES.

ONCE THE FINAL LATITUDINAL PLACEMENTS OF THE AFOREMENTIONED
BOUNDARIES ARE BETTER KNOWN...PARTS OF THE REGION MAY NEED AN
UPGRADE TO A MDT RISK.

Venture, isn't the outflow a bit north of the storm? The further south this storm goes, the greatest chance for an isolated tornado?

Rick is finally talking nonstop. Mike isn't concern that much.

Rick seem to be watching that hook closely.

KOCO been having CC the whole time and News 9 just now got the CC up.

This storm is basically gone. RIP

You are thinking of the outflow boundary from the storm complexes yesterday. What I was referring to was the area of outflow/gust front that developed on the storm where the "hook" was located.

With that, I'm out for the night.

Good Morning.

Venture, I'm having about 20 teens over at 7pm tonight for my son's birthday. Do you think we will have any severe weather ie Tornadoes at that time? My shelter doesn't hold that many.

Your best guess of the weather around then?

What are the chances of rain then? I'd love to throw then all in the backyard, lol but my luck it will pour from 7-12...

Edmond/NW OKC area.

Thanks!

> I'm having about 20 teens over at 7pm tonight

hang the storms. Pile up the pizza, soda, maybe some salad on a central table, and then clear out and let the ferret keep an eye on them.

There might be some storms in your area within the next several hours. I think by 7pm, it should all pass down to the south as the cold front continue to move. The cold front is either approaching your area or going thru.

There may still be some rain around, but this really isn't a tornado setup that much up here, that seems to be more into SW Oklahoma right now.

lol... you must be a fly on my wall! I'm clearing out (but not too far - the next room, I like my house!)

And they all love Teddy... I just don't want a big goofy footprint on him anytime soon!

Okay, sigh of relief... I'm hoping and praying we can have a bonfire in the backyard.. wouldn't that be fun for teens !?

If you live in the city you may need to get a permit for a bonfire.

Good point, maybe I should have specified, I'm thinking backyard Firepit size... oh and our 'backyard' is pretty good size and backs to the greenbelt / creek.. we have no neighbors behind us. Do you think that would be okay without a permit?

Karried I'd have a backup plan ready...it could be pretty wet tonight.

OT........This brings up a question I've wondered about before. We have a chiminea and a campfire firepit (surrounded by a gravel seating area and stream) in our yard. Do firepits need a permit?

Karrie, firepits is legal. It's just like an outdoor fireplace. Just as long you're cautious about the surrounding areas and tell the kids not to get too close to the firepit. Keep it mind, the metal/steel will remain hot for several hours after the fire is put out.

Good point, maybe I should have specified, I'm thinking backyard Firepit size... oh and our 'backyard' is pretty good size and backs to the greenbelt / creek.. we have no neighbors behind us. Do you think that would be okay without a permit?

If you dont let it get too high and keep a water hose nearby for liability purposes you should be fine.

Karrie, go host that party!


What he said. :iagree:

As cool as it is outside that bonfires starting to sound like a good idea...

It was drizzle or light rain during the whole time I worked. It was cool outside.

Karrie, did the party turn out okay? We have not heard from you since.

ahhh , thanks for thinking of me! Didn't have any time to go online as I was busy keeping the kids from catching on fire... I had them repeat it a few times, 'stop, drop and roll'! lol, it was great, the wind did blow the embers around a bit but my son had a great time and it was a perfect night for a fire.

Thanks again!
