November 2024 - General Weather Discussion

[Bunty]

Raining heavily in Stillwater at up to a rate of 7" per hour before backing off. This may be the drought breaker.

Tornado hit the Heart Hospital South. Less than .5 miles away from me. Been raining for 2 hours now.

Looks like the far east side of Oklahoma County along the Kickapoo Turnpike, Harrah and Newalla took the brunt of the storms/tornado damage from early this morning. The OG&E Power Plant near Horseshoe Lake also looks like it received damage.

Little worried about today but not as much as I am Monday morning 7-10 time frame for more quick spin up tornadoes. Really worried for outbreak in Eastern Oklahoma on Monday Also. Today (Sunday) is really what computer model you want to go with. So many boundaries out there right now. A warm front floating around. Anything is possible today.

[kukblue1]

Severe weather for Sunday is going down some. Also heavy rain has shifted just east of the metro on the afternoon runs also for Sunday. For tonight. I'm not liking storm mode for south central Oklahoma and SW Oklahoma for around midnight. Something to keep an eye out on if storms form ahead of the main they there could be big problems.

I was not liking the way things were trending yesterday at all. I didn't think it would get as far north as it did but I got the around midnight part correct.

Here is a 1 1/2 hour long areal video of the tornado damage:

1:00 p.m. update really need to keep an eye on the area from Davis down to the Red River back to Duncan too near Wichita falls. South Central Oklahoma possible tornadoes this evening is how it's looking right now

[SoonerDave]

SPC has issued an Enhanced Risk outlook for S/SE Ok for today. OKC metro not in the enhanced zone at this time.

No mesocale discussions active right now.

Tornado watch coming for C and SC OK. Severe and tornado warned storms are moving up from the SW again. The air over OKC is relatively stable, but shear environment is really good for quick spinups.

[Anonymous.]

Flash flooding threat high obviously as most of the area has seen 3-5” in the last 48 hours.

[C_M_25]

Phenomenal rain event.

[floyd the barber]

Anybody have information on whether the tornado threat will be in the morning or in the afternoon tomorrow?

Morning Metro west evening Eastern Oklahoma

[kukblue1]

Anytime between 6am and noon tomorrow for storms in the Metro. Tornadoes possible as the big wave moves in. Probably more rain before than also.

[BB37]

Phenomenal rain event.

I emptied 7 inches out of our rain gauge this evening near NW Highway and Sara Road, all of it since Saturday afternoon.

[bison34]

Took them 19 hours to get power back for us at 89th and Sooner.

[kukblue1]

Midnight update not liking the slower solution that the hrrr is spitting out. It's now showing a line of supercells from OKC South through South Central Oklahoma between 12:00 and 2:00. We'll see if this slower trend continues

[kukblue1]

Oh as I was typing out my midnight update I did not realize that the SPC came out with theirs. They moved the enhance rish back west. Now includes Oklahoma City down 44 Lawton and Wichita falls they also included a 10% hatched area for tornadoes in this area. Please pay attention starting tomorrow morning early.

Multiple radar indicated spinups along this line coning into the W side of OKC metro. Large tornado polygon to wake everyone up.

Sirens for the Venice neighborhood at 6:15, and occasionally thereafter, with absolutely no rain even happening at those times. Polygon is way too huge, 9 actually said no tornadoes on the ground, some small debris. And schools apparenly actually canceled! SMH, way too OTT for this, crying wolf. It's all actually pretty much over at our place now.

[kukblue1]

Round one over did we can some as it came into the Metro. Round two taking shape and far Southwest Oklahoma. Keep an eye around noon time

They canceled because of the afternoon wave and okc schools was already out for the day. Watch the main action happen in Norman now since they decided to stay open.

How many kids do you have in school that rely on busses driving around these vast areas in the metro?

None, and thanks to the info above about OKC already being out, it makes more sense. Still think the large polygon and sirens were a bit excessive. Warning means a tornado has been sighted visually or on radar, and for our area and most of the metro, that was definitely not the case.

Knew someone would complain about “non-action”. Nice dry run for kids in my house. I live around Wilshire and Kilpatrick and we could hear the wind/rain doing in multiple directions thru our pergola. Ears were popping.


Jim Gardner KWTV chopper just said he was at Wiley Post and was about to take off when he saw a rope tornado (just over us) that got just about halfway down but never touched ground (obviously)
so yeah..
