5/24/04: NOW: Oklahoma

[Lance Maxwell]

There is a nice CU field developing in SW Oklahoma -- could be the start of something very interesting.

 

[Lance Maxwell]

New MD issued for western 1/3 of OK and NW portions of North Texas indicating WW will be likely and very large hail threat.

 

[Lance Maxwell]

Severe Tstorm Watch just issued for western OK. Hopefully the cells can move quickly east into a more favorable environment for tornadic activity.

 

[Lance Maxwell]

Another cell just now getting started to the NNE of that cell up into West Central OK.

 

[John Diel]

Cells starting in NCentral OK

Looks to be some CU building in NCRTRL OK and SCTRL KA. 15 more minutes and I'll be on the move to see where they go. Nothing as specatucular as NE, but somthing to chase.

 

[Lance Maxwell]

Looks like the dryline has already begun its retreat -- not good news for those of us in Norman who badly need the rain as this will most likely spell the end of the eastward strengthening of the cells.

Nice supercell west of Lawton right now. Classic appearance on radar with a big hook...probably high-based, however, given the temperature-dewpoint spread.
