its possible the SW OkC storms are combining into a small MCS..with the old cooperton storm the WAA wing of it moving more slowly north and the storm just west of atlus will become the faster moving wind machine moving more east

I was just thinking that myself, but potential for tors remains high.

Tornado Watch has been extended to 4 am

DISCUSSION...CLUSTER OF SUPERCELLS WITH A HISTORY OF TORNADOES OVER

SWRN OK /FROM W LTS TO NW FSI/ IS EXPECTED TO TRACK ENEWD ALONG

OUTFLOW BOUNDARY INTO CNTRL OK LATER TONIGHT. CURRENT VAD

OBSERVATIONS FROM FREDRICK OK AND TWIN LAKES OK INDICATE NOTABLE

STRENGTHENING OF THE LLJ OVER THE PAST HOUR WITH 0-1 KM SRH OF

300-400 M2/S2. TORNADO THREAT WILL BE DICTATED BY ABILITY OF STORMS

TO MANAGE CONVECTIVE OUTFLOW...THOUGH SIGNIFICANT TORNADOES ARE

POSSIBLE GIVEN THE STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR. ELSEWHERE...A SECONDARY

CORRIDOR OF TORNADO POTENTIAL WILL EXIST TONIGHT ACROSS PORTIONS OF

NRN OK WHERE LOW-LEVEL SHEAR AND MOISTURE ARE INCREASING WITHIN A

BOUNDARY LAYER THAT WAS NOT OVERTURNED BY EARLIER CONVECTION.

New tornado watch has tor probs 50/40, higher then the previous watch. Mentioning significant tornadoes are still possible.

Rick Mitchell on KOCO keeps stressing that this isn't a normal severe weather event. The wind fields are as such, that these storms will not weaken, and will remain tornadic all the way through the Metro.

The fact that we're seeing such activity with a stronger cap today and lesser wind fields than progged tomorrow is quite foreboding...

while the bold may happen if they make it there by 11 or so and they outflow doesn't mess things up..things like pretty "normal" to me.winds fields are not off the charts yet..tomorrow/night is a different story

This agrees with earlier comments I have read that said that tonight's LLJ will maintain sig tor risk, then a lull tomorrow before the jet ramps up again and continues through tomorrow night.

To be honest...looks like we may be in early stages of an MCS evolution...that may propogate this S of most of OKC metro. A few tornadoes could still occur...but wind might become the more significant issue.

Will be coming into Chickasaw out ahead of this in a bit where winds are backed out of ESE. These things have been putting out serious outflow, but the low level flow keeps injecting new life. Still have a visible wall cloud to our north. Just passed a DOW truck.
