MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0527
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK
0808 PM CDT WED MAY 06 2015

AREAS AFFECTED...WRN AND CENTRAL OK/WRN N TX

CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 133...

VALID 070108Z - 070215Z

THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 133 CONTINUES.

SUMMARY...SCATTERED SEVERE/SUPERCELL STORMS CONTINUE ACROSS PARTS OF
WW 133 -- WHERE ALL-HAZARD SEVERE RISK PERSISTS.

DISCUSSION...SEVERAL SEVERE/SUPERCELL STORMS ARE ONGOING ATTM FROM
CENTRAL KS SWD INTO THE TX SOUTH PLAINS...IN AT LEAST THREE CLUSTERS
-- ONE OVER NRN OK...ONE OVER CENTRAL OK...AND A THIRD OVER SWRN
OK/WRN N TX. STORM COVERAGE HAS GRADUALLY INCREASED -- PARTICULARLY
OVER SRN PORTIONS OF THE WW AS THE LOW-LEVEL JET AND ASSOCIATED
ASCENT/WARM ADVECTION INCREASE.

ATTM...IT APPEARS THAT SEVERE RISK -- MAINLY IN THE FORM OF LARGE
HAIL AND LOCALLY DAMAGING WINDS -- MAY CONTINUE FOR AT LEAST THE
NEXT FEW HOURS...GIVEN A BACKGROUND ENVIRONMENT WHICH REMAINS
SUPPORTIVE FOR SUPERCELLS. WHILE TENDENCY MAY BE FOR
CLUSTERING/MESSIER STORM MODE WITH TIME -- AND AN INCREASE IN RISK
FOR LOCALLY HEAVY RAIN...SEVERE/ISOLATED TORNADO POTENTIAL LIKELY TO
PERSIST BEYOND 02Z /THE SCHEDULED EXPIRATION FOR WW 133/ SUGGESTS
THAT A NEW WW FOR AT LEAST PARTS OF THIS AREA WILL BE NEEDED.

This seems like basically a repeat of May 31st. Kudos to the TV meteorologists for telling people to stay in their safe spots rather than getting out on the roads.

Have the storm sirens ever gone off this much in one day/night? wow

[Bunty]

For probably the first time ever a Flash Flood Emergency has been issued for Oklahoma City. This warning covers Caddo, Canadian, Cleveland, Grady, McClain, and Oklahoma counties until 9 AM. Map below gives an idea how extra heavy the rain has been for the past two days just to the southwest of OKC.

Crap, it's been hell getting the little one to bed. We finally got her to agree to lie down if we put earbuds and Pandora on her. This is rough for the kids.

Is the weather tomorrow going to be much like today?

It's going to be busy through Sunday. One thing to point out...today probably exceeded what most expected due to the conditional elements we had today. A lot could have gone wrong and we would be seeing posts about another "bust" and forecasts screwing it up. Well...this is why we always say there is a chance. Though no one could have predicted this much water and and total number of tornadoes.

Is the weather tomorrow going to be much like today?

A 60% chance for thunderstorms in OKC for Thursday night.
