General Weather Discussion - October & November 2017

[Anonymous.]

Short range models keeping discrete supercells developing down in SW OK and moving toward C OK this evening. Then entire line lights up and consumes these cells. Hail threat will be significant with these early storms.

[Anonymous.]

Latest data shows 1-2 supercells firing somewhere near Caddo county. Tornado watch is coming soon.

[Bunty]

Tornado watch for OKC until 10 pm.

Counties covered:

[Anonymous.]

Huge hail coming out of that first supercell heading to west of Carnegie. Also rotation is becoming more organized (hence the hail size).

[Anonymous.]

All storms now severe. Most dangerous storms are from Carnegie to Cordell.

The line is now forming out along the TX/OK border and will race east. This line will engulf the storms ahead of it and create a widespread damaging wind scenario for C OK.

[Bunty]

In Stillwater, was that thunder or an earthquake? An any rate, a narrow new line of storms is approaching Stillwater as of 5:15 pm. No advisories for there at that time.

[Anonymous.]

Reports of tornado on storm west of Cache.

[Anonymous.]

Tornado headed into Medicine Park. Western sides of the town.

[Anonymous.]

Tornado threat quickly diminishing as cluster moves closer to C OK.

[SoonerDave]

Tornado threat quickly diminishing as cluster moves closer to C OK.

Anon, that storm with the rotation down near Cyril and heading toward Chickasha - you think that rotation becomes less intense as it approaches OKC? Starting to get close enough to....well, pay attention a bit.

[Bunty]

Tornado threat quickly diminishing as cluster moves closer to C OK.

It didn't diminish quickly enough to keep a EF-1 tornado from hitting the Riverwind Casino in Norman where the governor was present for the Beach Boys concert.

Yea I was gone after that post so didn't update. But yea that one storm's hook just rode along the line straight into the Norman area. Quick little spinup.

Unfortunately for the kids, looks like Halloween will be the worst weather day this week. Cold & cloudy with a slight chance of some light showers towards evening.

After that, we warm up significantly for Wednesday and Thursday. Fire danger will be high. Then another cooldown comes in for Friday. For the moment, this weekend looks fantastic.

[Anonymous.]

Beautiful day today, try to hold off on turning on the AC - because tonight is another cooldown. Friday highs will be in the 50s. Saturday we warm back up to 70s, and Sunday most of the state will be back in the 80s.

Looking ahead, next week cools down significantly with a chance of rain coming mid-week. Look for highs in the 40s in the latter part of the week until finally moderating into the weekend with some highs in the 60s.

[Bunty]

A glaring temperature contrast from 48 to 90 in Oklahoma on Sunday afternoon while a cold front makes another attempt to pass through the state.

[Pete]

Holy cow, all week the forecast was for 80 in OKC and now it's barely in the 60's.

[Anonymous.]

^ Yes, the boundary sagged about 30 miles further south than forecast. So the highs were made around 10am.

This cold air is going to sit over the plains for a while. Cold rain chances move in Tuesday night into Wednesday. Likely a freeze Wednesday night, especially if skies clear. Moderation still looks likely as we head towards the weekend with highs getting back into the 60s.

[Anonymous.]

Fog and drizzle will develop overnight tonight.

High fire danger coming Friday. Weekend looks pleasant with highs in the low 60s.
