VALID 140035Z - 140130Z THE SEVERE WEATHER THREAT FOR TORNADO WATCH 160 CONTINUES. TORNADO WATCH 160 CONTINUES UNTIL 02Z...WITH POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES AND LARGE HAIL. INDICATIONS ARE THAT A REPLACEMENT TORNADO WATCH WILL BE NEEDED IN THE NEXT HOUR OR SO FOR PORTIONS OF OK AND PERHAPS ADJACENT PARTS OF NORTHWEST TX/EASTERN TX PANHANDLE. MOST CONCENTRATED/SUSTAINED SEVERE POTENTIAL IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN ESPECIALLY FOCUSED ACROSS SOUTHWEST OK/ADJACENT NORTHWEST TX OVER THE NEXT FEW HOURS. AN ONGOING SUPERCELL IN KIOWA COUNTY OK HAD TEMPORARILY WEAKENED FROM ITS EARLIER PROLIFIC INTENSITY AS OF 0000Z...BUT A REINTENSIFICATION HAS OCCURRED WITHIN A RELATIVELY FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT ACROSS SOUTHWEST OK. THE AFOREMENTIONED STORM HAS APPEARED TO FAVOR THE IMMEDIATE COOL SIDE OF AN OUTFLOW BOUNDARY LEFT BY EARLIER STORMS. A MORE STABLE RAIN-COOLED AIRMASS CURRENTLY EXISTS ACROSS CENTRAL OK...ALTHOUGH THE 00Z OBSERVED SOUNDING FROM NORMAN WAS INDICATIVE OF ONLY A VERY SHALLOW STABLE LAYER /0.5 KM/. AS SUCH...COLD POOL ABATEMENT/OUTFLOW MODIFICATION COULD YET OCCUR THIS EVENING INTO CENTRAL OK AS A LOW LEVEL JET INTENSIFIES. WEST OF THE LEAD STORM ACROSS KIOWA COUNTY...ADDITIONAL SUSTAINED SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT CAN BE EXPECTED JUST NORTH OF THE CHILDRESS TX AREA INTO FAR SOUTHWEST/EVENTUALLY WEST-CENTRAL OK...WITH THESE STORMS ALSO LIKELY TO FAVOR THE PERPETUALLY-REINFORCED WEST-EAST OUTFLOW BOUNDARY AS A MODERATELY UNSTABLE /2000-2500 J PER KG MLCAPE/ BOUNDARY LAYER REMAINS ALONG/SOUTH OF IT. REGIONAL WIND PROFILERS/WSR-88D DERIVED WINDS ARE INDICATIVE OF A STRENGTHENING/BACKING TREND WITHIN THE LOWEST FEW KM DURING THE PAST SEVERAL HOURS...WITH THE FREDERICK OK WSR-88D VWP ALREADY INDICATIVE OF 200+ M2/S2 0-1 KM SRH. THIS SAME TREND IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE THIS EVENING AND HELP MAINTAIN A SUPERCELL/TORNADO THREAT TONIGHT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

radarman Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 From a colleague at the NWC about the Norman tornado earlier: "Tornado seems to have touched down near I-35 and Highway 9, then went ENE across town with scattered damage (not a solid swath mowed down or anything like that). Power lines down on 24th Ave SW, some roof damage and trees down near Boyd west of Berry Road, tree damage in Rotary Park (N of Boyd at Flood St.) scattered damage in the downtown area including at the US Post Office and tree limbs down near Benvenuti's Restaurant. Some roof damage, sheds blown over, etc, ENE of downtown. Not hearing of major injuries or deaths." Certainly nothing like May 10th obviously...

Minnesota Meso Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 I think we need a new thread to start up so that we separate now casting into one area and forecasting for tomorrow and Sunday into another, or has this been done and I'm just not seeing it? I don't want to start such a thread, would like some one with more experience on this site to do so, but only if they agree. If it happens thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SouthernNJ Posted April 14, 2012 Share Posted April 14, 2012 The Martha-Blair-Altus sector may have another storm to deal with in the next hour or so if things hold up.
