Venture, is there enough omff for this storm to keep on going towards the east and causing trouble?

Lot of energy out there for it still. So we'll have to see. I just posted in the chat that the front is down to 5 mph forward speed so its slowing back down some.

Test bed Phased Array radar (what all gov't radars may go to eventually) is watching this storms.

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0630 PM CDT WED APR 17 2013

AREAS AFFECTED...PORTIONS OF CENTRAL AND SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA
INCLUDING NORMAN AND S SIDES OF THE OKC METRO

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 116...

VALID 172330Z - 180100Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 116 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...SUPERCELLS ARE ADVANCING INTO CENTRAL OKLAHOMA...AND WILL
LIKELY REACH NORMAN AND S SIDES OF THE OKC METRO WITHIN THE NEXT
COUPLE OF HOURS.

DISCUSSION...CURRENT EXTRAPOLATION TAKES THE LEAD SUPERCELL OVER
NERN COMANCHE AND SERN CADDO COUNTIES INTO NORMAN AND S SIDES OF THE
OKC METRO AREA AROUND OR AFTER 0100Z GIVEN 25-30 KT OF NEWD MOTION.
LOW-LEVEL CIRCULATIONS HAVE THUS FAR BEEN MODEST...AT BEST. THIS MAY
BE ASSOCIATED WITH DELETERIOUS STORM-SCALE EFFECTS RELATED TO STORM
SEEDING AND A STRONG VEER-BACK-VEER VERTICAL WIND PROFILE PER TLX
VWP DATA AND PURCELL PROFILER DATA WITHIN THE 2-6-KM LAYER.
REGARDLESS...HAIL TO 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER AND DMGG WINDS WILL BE
LIKELY AS INFLOW AIR REMAINS STRONGLY UNSTABLE AMIDST STRONG 0-6-KM
SHEAR. TLX VWP DATA INDICATE 200-300 M2/S2 OF LOW-LEVEL SRH...AND
SOME TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL EXIST BEFORE THE STORM IS UNDERCUT BY
THE LEADING EDGE OF SHALLOW COLD AIR OOZING SWD THROUGH THE OKC
METRO. ADDITIONAL SUPERCELLS UPSTREAM WILL ADVANCE INTO THE AREA
THROUGH THE EVENING...WITH SVR HAIL/WINDS LIKELY.

..COHEN/THOMPSON.. 04/17/2013

Funnel developing near I-44 SE of Cyril tracking Northeast. The front has apparently stalled now according to radar. Right now it is sitting from Chickasha to Bridge Creek to Newcastle and at 4th & I-35 in Moore up to Tinker AFB.

Morgan is really pumping Reed Timmer hard. "Best Storm Chaser in the Country" "Doctorate from Oklahoma, best meteorological school in the country" "Was on Discovery Channel and Natgeo"

Its ridiculous and funny at the same time. They also have the ad promos also that come on every time there is a commercial break.

They will probably try to get Emily to date Reed so they can get more ratings. lol

I still have southerly winds near I-35 and Tecumseh in Norman

Morgan is really pumping Reed Timmer hard. "

There's a nauseating visual. At some point, someone's gonna slip and say "Reed Timmer in Dominatrix4"...

That might be less excruciating by only a slight amount than the guy on News9 with the TV presence of creamed corn scolding the guys on the "gentner" to quit talking over each other.

Flash flooding does very little towards long term drought.

After the first inch of rain when it comes down this fast, the other 5 inches run off and end up in storm water retention.

Significant rotation moving NE out of Chickasha.

Flash flooding does very little towards long term drought.

After the first inch of rain when it comes down this fast, the other 5 inches run off and end up in storm water retention.

That's true, but it is great nonetheless. One area it helps immensely is in easing of the hydrologic drought, by filling up streams, creeks, rivers, and lakes. This is a big deal. Lawton has been in a near catastrophic drought for the last two years.

Bingo. If nothing else at all, it's really good for our waterways.

Tornado threat continues ahead of the line. Metro seems to be good there. Just risk for more hail and possibly damaging winds with these remaining storms forming out west and moving in from the SW.

For those that participated in the chat. Please let me know what you think of it. I want to see if it is going to be worth the $50 a month for the software...still a bit pricy IMO, but it has the features that I think most enjoy. Let me know through a private message on here so we don't clutter the thread. :)

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 116 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...THE SVR THREAT WILL CONTINUE INTO THE EARLY MORNING HOURS
THURSDAY...PRIMARILY IN THE FORM OF LINE/BOWING SEGMENTS WITH
DAMAGING WINDS AND ISOLATED LARGE HAIL. A NEW WW WILL BE COORDINATED
PRIOR TO 0345Z.

HOURS.

A NEW WW WILL BE COORDINATED SHORTLY WITH WFO OUN AND WFO TSA.

Yeah that seems to be the overwhelming feedback so far. Of course even I was getting annoyed with all the nonsense traffic being posted under #okwx. Not to mention the need for several local news stations to always post "amg look at this need behind the scenes shot...38 times". So yeah. Those are gone except for maybe the NWS feeds which I think hold value still.

Storm report review for today. Tornado reports aren't on here and usually will wait for the surveys. Not sure if you can qualify this as verifying the moderate risk. However there were somewhere just under 10 tornadoes for today, so its pretty close IMO. The cold front being bi-polar definitely made things a mess today.
