iowahawkeyedave Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Eastern OK looks like it could be getting lucky with the storms lining up, instead of individual supercells. Possibly, but the way this year has been going so far, I'm not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natecast Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Hey everyone. Just got back from the underground shelter of one of our friends a mile down the road. The El Reno/NW OKC maxi tornado passed 4 miles to my NW. Harrowing to say the least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iowahawkeyedave Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 Any chance more storms could develop off to the west of OKC? It looks like the dryline is still west of there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SmokeEater Posted May 25, 2011 Share Posted May 25, 2011 MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0938 NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK 0643 PM CDT TUE MAY 24 2011 AREAS AFFECTED...CNTRL AND ERN OK THROUGH N-CNTRL TX CONCERNING...TORNADO WATCH 356... VALID 242343Z - 250045Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 356 CONTINUES. THREAT FOR STRONG TORNADOES...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND IS EXPECTED TO PERSIST FROM CNTRL THROUGH ERN OK INTO N-CNTRL TX THE NEXT FEW HOURS. NUMEROUS STORMS INCLUDING A FEW SUPERCELLS CONTINUE FROM N-CNTRL TX THROUGH CNTRL AND E-CNTRL OK. MANY STORMS IN CNTRL OK HAVE BECOME TEMPORARILY LESS ORGANIZED DUE TO DESTRUCTIVE INTERFERENCE ASSOCIATED WITH CELL MERGERS AND OUTFLOW INTERACTIONS. HOWEVER...THE ENVIRONMENT REMAINS SUPPORTIVE OF TORNADOES AND VERY LARGE HAIL WITH LARGE 0-1 KM HODOGRAPHS AND STRONG INSTABILITY...AND SOME STORMS WILL LIKELY REORGANIZE DURING THE EVENING. FARTHER SOUTH STORMS REMAIN MORE DISCRETE ACROSS N-CNTRL TX AND WILL ALSO CONTINUE TO POSE A THREAT FOR VERY LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES. ..DIAL.. 05/24/2011 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, i'm not sure what the deal is with Sups going linear and then back to discrete again. Pretty sure once they go linear, because of the backing wind field, they normally don't go back discrete. Anyone with more knowledge than me, please chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone with more knowledge than me, please chime in. i think it's more that you still retain some supercell structure within the line, and increasing llj might help them spin harder again. if you look at vis sat you can see a few dots up the line with overshooting tops indicative of pretty powerful storms embedded still.

Pretty sure once they go linear, because of the backing wind field, they normally don't go back discrete. Anyone with more knowledge than me, please chime in. The storms that hit here in NC on Apr 16th went from a mostly linear line to a line of several discrete cells once the LLJ caught up to it.
