I observed two, narrow funnels from a distance on either east-west side of Great Bend as I approached from the south, but nothing more conclusive from my vantage point.

Superstorm93 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Mesoscale Discussion 0765 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0515 PM CDT Thu May 18 2017 Areas affected...central and north-central OK into far southern KS Concerning...Tornado Watch 235...239... Valid 182215Z - 182315Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 235, 239 continues. SUMMARY...A heightened tornado risk may evolve northwest of the OKC metro---dependent on slightly less supportive storm-scale interactions resolving in the near term. DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows as cluster of tornadic supercells over northwest OK and supercells with a history of tornadoes over central OK near the I-40 corridor in west-central OK. The near-storm environment is forecast to become more favorable for strong tornadoes over the next 2 hours as backed east-southeasterly low level flow strengthens in the inflow regions of the established supercells. Forecast soundings show 0-1 km SRH over central and north-central OK in the 50-75 m2/s2 range (NAM/RAP). This is in contrast to observed KTLX VAD data showing around 150 m2/s2 0-1 km SRH with weaker SRH near KVNX. The short-term models indicate SRH will increase and the expectation is for 0-1 km SRH to increase into the 150-300 m2/s2 range. This will likely prove favorable for intensifying low-level mesocyclones/increased tornado potential. As storms move farther east, a reservoir of richer low-level moisture is located over north-central OK (likely a partial function of evapotranspiration due to excessive rains earlier this month). As storms encounter the slightly higher moisture (into the upper 60s degrees F) and strengthening low-level shear, an intense longer track tornado may develop over central/north-central OK this evening.

jojo762 Posted May 18, 2017 Share Posted May 18, 2017 Plenty of tornadoes thus far today, but nothing really long-track or high-end from what I can tell... Might have something to do with the largely meridional flow from 700-500mb. Not looking like a whole lot of opportunities left as initial discrete supercells are 1. Weakening, or 2. meeting their demise. Possibly some potential with the new storms forming out west. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
