LocoAko Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Sounds like a severe thunderstorm watch can be expected shortly based on the latest tweet from the NWS. Also not a tweet you see every day: NWS Norman @NWSNorman17m Don't be surprised to see sub-freezing svr t-storm warnings tonight! Frzg rain and severe hail at the same time in spots! #okwx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LocoAko Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Watch now out for Central and Western Oklahoma and south-central Kansas. High probability of severe hail. DISCUSSION...SCATTERED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING OVER THE WATCH AREA. STORMS WILL BE BEHIND A STRONG SURFACE COLD FRONT. BUT DESPITE THE VERY COLD LOW LEVEL ENVIRONMENT...FORECAST SOUNDINGS SHOW AMPLE ELEVATED INSTABILITY AND SHEAR FOR ROTATING THUNDERSTORMS CAPABLE OF LARGE HAIL. COVERAGE OF STORMS MAY CONTINUE TO INCREASE THROUGH MIDNIGHT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gorky Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Hays, KS is currently severe warned for 1" hail despite current temps of 28F! Won't have much problem with that melting before you can take measurements! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicago Storm Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 Ended up calling the chase and heading to the Wichita Mountains. Hit the front on the way up...Temps fell from the low 80's to the current 49F. Over the past 5min have gone from heavy rain, to melted hail, to graupel, and even what looked like a few snowflakes.

LocoAko Posted April 9, 2013 Share Posted April 9, 2013 WPC (feels weird to type that ) upped the probs of up to a half inch of ice. I'm having a hard time imagining this will happen down here, but would be nasty if it did... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm having a hard time imagining this will happen down here, but would be nasty if it did... Any idea on ice storm climo around there? Seems like it would be pretty unusual to get a significant one at this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Nice Squall Line in OK and KS... Behind the Cold Front, would have been nice to see all that cold air aloft get past W KS. What exactly happened today to make it bust-- Not like it had a whole lot of potential with weak kinematics but still disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoMo Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 The cap is eroding from the west as the system kicks out. The shower/t-storms to the NW of Tulsa are along the cold front it looks like. That may fill in as the cooler mid-level temps catch up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
