Severe Weather Outlook - Mon 7/13 through Mon 7/20

[venture]

Radar Update - Trend seems to be move compact the complex further west and move it through western Oklahoma, with little impact on the metro. We'll see if this trend continues or if it snaps back and shows signs of moving into the metro.

[venture]

Interesting features developing on supercell. It does have an outflow boundary with it, but there is some really strong wind and potential rotation with this also. The White Diamond (all diamonds show hail cores) is for hail over 3.5" right now. Ouch.

Could get interesting when those two storms merge.

[Thunder]

WSS, they already are. Come join us in the chat, please! We're all alone.

Radar Update...storms are filling in and developing out to the panhandle. The eastern edge of the storms look like they will stay to the west of Oklahoma County right now. There is another complex developing rapidly in SE KS that will swing through NE Oklahoma tonight.

Metro impact with the first line will be minimal, it is moving to the west. Only potential appears to be with the complex in Kansas if it back builds enough, but that will likely dive SE into NE Oklahoma.

Choctaw and Norman appears to be completely back online.

Meno...........72
Ringwood....171
Seiling........107

For those do not want the hail, enjoy the rain.

Don't be fooled by the radar, that is mostly verga in the Oklahoma County with a few pockets of showers.

Don't ruin the mood. lol I guess this is another bust (direct monster impact) for us. Bed time.

Update:

Just slept for an hour, as usual. Anytime I sleep after work, it is for an hour or two.

We had steady light showers that passed thru the metro. I saw it. Some lightning here and there.

Here is what is happening across the state.

[dmoor82]

Here in Norman around SE 24th and Lindsey I missed out on last Thursdays big storm,3-4 day's ago a storm was moving south outta mid/del and it died right when it got to Norman and then last night all I got was very light rain! I like big storms ,I like to watch them outside and the weather men tracking them!

[westsidesooner]

If theres two complexs tonight I'll bet one goes east of us (west metro) and the other west. Its just been our luck lately. Not that I miss the hail everyone else has been dealing with.

REALLY. Are you kidding me? The west Metro (between Council and Hefner Parkway) got screwed again. Three stroms have hit the east side this week and the pavement has stayed dry at our house. At least I got my forecast right!!!!!!!

You jinxed the weather.

I brought up that discussion in the chat last night.

[westsidesooner]

Thunder. my family has been telling me that for years. Since I like the Big Bang Theory I'll call this episode " The donut hole Conundrum"

I need a weather excorcism.

[westsidesooner]

Sorry I missed out on the chat last night Thunder, I had too many projects going on. Howd it go? I shouldnt have spent as much time as I did watching the radar. I stayed up til about 130 hoping something might happen (rain wise) so I'll be sleepy all day now.

I got to thinking. Im a huge Minnesota Vikings, Minnesota Twins and OU football fan. None of them can seem to win the big game. I also love storms and none will come near my house. lol Maybe someone in Minnesota should pay me to be a Green Bay fan, or maybe the folks in Moore could hire me to move there to protect their city from storms.

I was pulling for Watson in the British Open too........man, I am a jinx.
