The storm in western Oklahoma City has a distinct hook. The possible tornado appears to be about one mile south of Yukon or about 6 miles southwest of Bethany as of 2:22pm CST.

After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.
I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.
For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.
From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.
Sincerely, Jeff D.

Good day all,
Storms are quickly forming a broken line, stretching from N-Central OK down through Lawnton and into N-C Texas.
Two supercell storms are present in OK, one NW of OKC by about 30 miles and one (better looking) near Lawnton / Fort Sill (NW of there).
Another more descrete cell is forming a bit ahead of the line SW of OKC as well, but has a line of weaker cells developing SE of it.
In my opinion, I would stick to the storms in SW OK near Fort Sill.
Edit: Stay AHEAD of this line and the storms! There may well be MORE than a single storm producing tornadoes soon.

Good day all,
Yukon storm appears to be splitting, still decent hook on it (the one NW of OKC). Cell to it's SW is severe warned, as well as the Lawnton storm.
New cells firing SW of this area, down towards Lawnton. All cells are moving NE at ~35 knots (40 MPH).

news9 is live streaming, reporting weak rotation on the wall cloud.
Really tight reflectivity gradient starting to set up on the forward flank of the OKC storm, but the center of circulation looks displaced a little far to the SE to produce a tornado in the immediate future. Maybe if the next cycle places one further to the NW, closer to the root of the reflectivity umbilicus. Wind field still looks pretty good out ahead of the storm.
Another one of concern is the storm passing through northern Caddo county, approaching Mustang.

Power flashes being reported.

The storms in OK seem to be struggling to get their act together. They have good reflectivity, but rotation seems to be at a premium. With the exception of the OKC storm, no storms are rotating. They seem to be choking on the low-helicity/poorer shear environment farther west. The clusters of storms going up in SE OK/NE TX/AR are in a more favorable region for becoming organized.
