General Weather Discussion - April 2014

[JayhawkTransplant]

If these can get going and sustain into the deeper moisture, we could see some big hail.

Ah, so there's a chance the metro could get hail? If so, I'll do the garage shuffle and get both cars in...

[venture]

FYI...due to the nature of the severe risk tomorrow and the number of people from the Tulsa area and east of Central OK, I'll keep the streaming and such going in the chat room so we can cover those folks. Going to be a big day and it'll still impact our state.

...severe storms likely sunday with a threat of tornadoes...

Severe thunderstorms are expected to develop sunday afternoon in
eastern oklahoma...likely east of a line from bartlesville to
mcalester to boswell. The storms may initially be widely scattered
as they intensify...but will become more numerous after 5pm as the
storms move toward western arkansas. The storms will likely reach
their greatest intensity sunday evening in western arkansas and far
eastern oklahoma. Tornadoes...wind gusts to 75 mph and 3 inch hail
could occur with the most intense cells.

While there remains some uncertainty relating to the specific areas
that will be at most risk...parts of arkansas and perhaps extreme
eastern oklahoma...are expected to experience life-threatening
storms sunday evening. That threat includes the potential for
strong and possibly long-track tornadoes.

If you are in arkansas or extreme eastern oklahoma you should use
this evening to review your severe actions plans. This should be
done not only for your home...but also for where you expect to be
sunday evening. This is also a good time to check battery-power
devices and ensure your family can quickly seek shelter if
necessary.

Do you think a tornado watch will go up?

[venture]

Do you think a tornado watch will go up?

Nope.

We are entering a quiet period now. These storms will continue to wander and decrease. New activity should form once the dryline gets moving later tonight.

[OKCisOK4me]

The radar right now is the most pathetic thing I've ever seen...given even the most recent forecast for severe weather.

Good deal. I have to think of what the children, and especially the kids in Moore, must feel like. It must be terrifying for them this time of year to come around again. I know my grandkids are scared to death of tornadoes and they haven't even been through one. I think they sense the anxiety we adults project.

[venture]

It all comes down to education and understanding. I remember seeing my first tornado. It was an F2 a couple miles from my parents house. It was a nasty looking thing to. It was like you grabbed a snake by the head and it was just curving and whipping about. I remember that tornado more than any of the dozens I've seen since.

Front is approaching western border now.

[ljbab728]

western border of what?

[venture]

Yup, dryline initiation has begun.

[venture]

[ljbab728]

Yawn, I'm going to bed.

[Plutonic Panda]

Yawn, I'm going to bed.

goodnight, don't let the tornados bite... or pick your house up and throw you into an alternate demison where you get placed in the middle of fued between a scare crow, robot, a talking lion, and witch that probably started by soooooneone not keeping their grass trimmed.,
