About This Report
This article will track any days where a (non-winter) severe weather watch, warning, and/or an SPC discussion included a risk of severe weather for any location in Oklahoma. Reports for tornadoes, hail, and wind will display the total number of reports and then the strongest/largest reported feature in that category. For example in the hail column if it says 34 / 2.50 that translates to 34 hail reports with the largest hail stone reported being 2.50" in diameter. Once that day is complete, the daily SPC report log will be linked to the reports. All information here is from the National Weather Service from Local Storm Reports (LSRs), the storm log pages of the NWS Norman and Tulsa websites, as well as the Storm Prediction Center logs.

* - All tornado numbers are usually preliminary for several months after first reported due to damage survey studying.

D2 or D3 - These notes, in the Outlook Risk column, apply only to Moderate or High risks that are issued on the early outlooks and not Day 1's.

Tornado/Hail/Wind Reports Disclaimer
Daily reporting periods run from 7AM CDT that day to 7AM CDT the following day. Reports have been split in most cases to account for the exact date the event took place.

So for averages, have we been below average this year? Maybe I should just Google it though...

Here is an interesting site on the subject in which you can compare years.

Monthly/Annual statistics for Tornadoes in Oklahoma (1950-Present) (http://www.srh.noaa.gov/oun/?n=tornadodata-ok-monthlyannual)

The one thing about severe weather is it can change in an instant. 2013 started off as one of the quietest years in history yet it ended up being an above average year as well as the one of the worst in state history in terms of human impact. All it takes is one outbreak.

The one thing about severe weather discussion is it can change in an instant. It starts off with a quiet, dispassionate historical perspective yet it ends up being hyperbolic, doomsday prognosis.

I'm going to try to figure out average for the hail and wind reports. This is a work in progress... Just need some time off work to catch up with everything.

I've added the tornado stats to the article now to give a good comparrison for the year and where we stack up. So far it looks like we will exit March without a tornado in the state. This is the 2nd time in the last 10 years it has happened and only the 4th time since 1980. Since I know it will be asked on how things turned out for the other 3 years it happened...

2001 - Season total 61 tornadoes, strongest were the 3 F3 recorded in Western and SW OK.

2002 - Season total of 18 tornadoes with the strongest being the F3 in Dewey/Woodward counties.

2011 - Season total 119 tornadoes with the strongest being the EF5 that struck the western and northern OKC metro area. This was on May 24th which I would also note included a pair of EF4s that struck the southern OKC metro area at almost the exact same time. It was a crazy day and I think most of us here remember it.

What conclusion can you make? None. :)

NWS Norman has rated the 2 tornadoes in SW OK last week as an EF0. They have been added to the log. This of course counters David Payne who said it "looked like an EF1 to EF2" based on video alone. This is why they do surveys - to get the truth and not just because something looks big and scary.
