    Hopefully the OKC area finally starts getting in on the action, by looking at the latest outlook from SPC though it would appear to be looking like another dud for us here.

    I hope to hell it's a dud. Just want a nice rain.

    Severe storms are more exciting than just rain

    … and generally more destructive and expensive.

    That's what insurance is for. you get your house and stuff all fixed up or brand new and nicer things.

    There is some truth to that. However, if you have ever lived through that and dealt with it, I and many others have, it is a living hell. You are a sad, sick human being.

    Most people are really happy when the forecast shows the worst of the severe weather is going to stay away from populated areas. Damage, death, and destruction are not something to wish for.

    So is it just OKC that you're hoping gets destroyed? Woodward or Purcell or some rural farm wouldn't excite you as much? Are you okay with no injuries happening or would that just not do it for you? I've had close friends go through injury and personal loss due to storms, and you are beyond idiotic and heartless to wish that on anyone. Go perform a certain anatomically impossible act on yourself.

    Every now and then, someone decides to start trolling this kind of stuff here. I'd respectfully ask that it stops, because even if you're just pulling someone's leg, it adds nothing to the discussion and just creates frustration and hard feelings. There's just no point. If storms are your thing, great, that's your prerogative, but let's keep this thread informational.

    Please?

    Anyway... NWS seems to have a bit more confidence in expanding the enhanced risk back down. Hail seems to be the primary concern over much of western OK.

    My apologies for letting this get the better of me.

    Nice fantasy world. Here's reality:

    --You pay a sizeable deductible for said insurance claim.
    --Insurance haggles you to death and ridiculously undervalues the items you claim damaged/destroyed.
    --Insurance company dumps you after claim is complete.
    --Next insurance premium is 3x higher than your previous premium.
    --Your friends in your zip code see their insurance shoot up, too, even if they didn't make a claim.
    --Everyone loses.

    Dude, seriously? That's massively f-ed up. Do you have *any* idea how many things people have that are irreplaceable, literally cannot ever, ever, never, not in a million years be replaced by "brand new and nicer things"?

    That someone is always the same person. He does this during the winter storms as well. It's pathetic.

    This early day convection is fizzling out for the most part, and it looks like OKC might not even see any of it. There is a small batch going north through W OK, and some spotty showers down near the Red River.

    If you look @ currently visible satellite, you can see the vast clearing throughout SW and W OK, despite the thundershowers.



    With an already healthy CU field out in extreme eastern TX PH, strong storms are likely to develop very near the OK/TX PH border and shove ENE.

    Agreed. I have never heard of anyone who actually enjoys destructive ice storms and power outages other than said person. Snowstorms and blizzards have their beauty, but there is nothing positive about an ice storm.

    Looks like most of central KS has been upgraded to a moderate risk as well.

    Ugh Kansas has had the rough end of the stick this week. Thankfully they seem to be sticking to rural land for the most part so far.

    Good convergence taking place across the dryline region currently. Should continue to see animation of supercells from N to S along the boundary.

    TOR watch(es) coming for large part of CO into KS and down into OK.

    Watch is posted. Essentially the E 2/3 of KS and all of NW and W OK. Storms are exploding in SW KS and NW OK. Very impressive structures.

    Current shear profiles support tornadoes, but will be more supportive heading into this evening.

    Any cells that come up ahead of the dryline out in SW or W OK need be watched closely as these could be particularly dangerous.

    There's an ignore button. Pete doesn't have to ban someone from posting on the entire site. Take your own action. I don't see any of his posts because I blocked him quite a while ago.

    I love KOCO over the others, but I'm a little perturbed that one of their people said we're on the verge of an historic "outbreak." Is the atmosphere really that primed? Feels extra-gimmicky to predict an outbreak.
