Interesting development south of Yukon.

[Anonymous.]

Cell coming up I-44 toward Bridge Creek is going to be the next one.

[C_M_25]

Bridgecreek storm looks like the real deal right now. Could be the big one today.

[C_M_25]

The Yukon storm is getting organized too

[PoliSciGuy]

Yeah that Bridge Creek storm is a nasty one

[Hollywood]

Bridge Creek spinning up and warned now.

TOR warned now. This is going to be coming directly up 44.

[C_M_25]

Some serious spin south of chickasha now too

[C_M_25]

Yukon storm is starting to spin just a little bit now too. Hook developing.

[Anonymous.]

All the storms are running into each other which is helping to keep things in check. If anything can get isolated though…

[jn1780]

This is a classic case of low level jet kicking in. We may get a bunch of small spinups but nothing too crazy

MD out for C OK. Tornado probabilities peak next 1-2 hours.

Edit: sorry on mobile. Formatting bad.

Bridge Creek/Newcastle storm is the best looking one right now.

It looks like the serious action will be from Norman and points south. OKC proper looks like just some nice rain and thunder!

Yep. It seems to be over for most of the metro.

[PoliSciGuy]

Moore and south are still under the gun, that's a lot of folks

[chssooner]

Yep. It seems to be over for most of the metro.

I reverse jinxed it. I live in South OKC/Moore, and it is NOT over for me. I wish I had your obtuse attitude.

I apologize for my insensitivity. I didn't mean to come across this way. The news had me to believe the storm was weakening.

Stay safe.

We've been in my mom's shelter in S OKC/NW Moore for a while now and I think the bulk has passed us. But I see a big storm east of Chickasha moving NE.and can't tell if that's going to occlude and turn north or stay heading NE. Also how much longer will this LLJ continue to make this situation volatile?

[C_M_25]

A couple of things from today.

1. The HRRR did a poor job overall in predicting the weather today. It couldn’t settle in on a pattern until the storms were already firing. The NAM did a much better job.

2. All the models over emphasized northern okc all the way through until the even started. I suspect that the cloud cover and the late push from the low was the reason for this.

Moving on to tomorrow: the NAM is going nuts with CAPE. Suggesting over 6000 for the okc area. The HRRR and the NAM are wildly different in the storm patterns, but I’m leaning towards the NAM for now as the HRRR has been off lately. Model parameters don’t look half bad for tornadoes. I suspect we’ll need to watch tomorrow carefully.

[C_M_25]

Also, I’m glad I don’t chase anymore. Watching Val driving like an idiot with all the traffic out there is just stressful. Not even worth it anymore.

[floyd the barber]

Cole has been getting blasted the past few storms. The one here is nothing to mess around with.

You can tell there are dozens of amateur storm chasers out there.

[Hollywood]

The amount of traffic is ridiculous.

[SoonerDave]

Anon, anyone have any info on that Chickasha storm?

[C_M_25]

Val is driving like a freaking idiot.
