5/19/2010 NOW: TX,OK

Incredible tornado showing up on the KFOR stream! Towering cu SW of Norman is also really getting it's act together. Several of my friends are chasing there, and are observing explosive development in these cells.
 
Latest SAT guidance shows the dryline pushing into SW OK from TX producing impressive TCu. Pooling of VERY high Tds along I-35 (>72 measured along the TX/OK borders (!)) are resulting in highly narrow T/Td spreads and increasing the fuel to the fire.

TOR producer NW of Watonga is an obvious play, but my gut tells me to continue (perhaps foolishly) stay put at my earlier revised target in Duncan, OK. Areas north of up and down the area on US 81 from Chickasha down to Duncan still looked primed. The day is young. 5:00pm magic still hours away...
 
Verne just had a massive cone on the ground to his west near Marshall, OK!
 
Multiple couplets with inflow notches still on the now congealed storms north of OKC. Storm due south of OKC looks impressive on reflectivity but not as defined rotation in the lower level. Storm NE of Duncan has better rotation, is furtherest south, and also is starting to V out now on reflectivity. Quick roundup for those in poor coverage areas.
 
One-third of all OK counties under active TOR warnings. Wow.

The live streaming at http://www.kfor.com/news/livestreaming/ suggests low level rotation is at least highly visually impressive over the Purcell/OUN storm.

I think the storm over OUN appeared to be riding an E/W boundary that was visible on SAT earlier and convergence was better the closer to OKC you got.

I'm definitely not discounting the Paul's Valley storm at all. It's all good right now (save for those whose lives will be indelibly touched by these storms).
