jojo762 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Some fairly significant damage in Elk City being shown on TWC with a house completely destroyed/collapsed. Seems like EF2-EF3 type damage depending on degree of structural soundness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Mesoscale Discussion 0740 NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0729 PM CDT Tue May 16 2017 Areas affected...southwest...central...and north-central OK...south-central KS Concerning...Tornado Watch 220...221... Valid 170029Z - 170130Z The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 220, 221 continues. SUMMARY...It remains unclear how far east the tornado risk will develop with ongoing supercells in western OK. Large hail and some tornado risk will probably accompany the storms east of Tornado Watch 220 into parts of central OK. DISCUSSION...Radar mosaic shows supercells over western OK with very large hail values per MRMS MESH with recent confirming reports. A likely strong tornado likely occurred around 0000-0015Z over west-central OK with the strongest velocity signature this evening. Stunted 0-2 km lapse rates (less than 6 degrees/km) and moderate low-level moisture (dewpoints ranging from 67 degrees F on the eastern edge of the Watch 220 to 65 degrees F on the I-35 corridor) will likely limit the tornado risk with further east extent towards the I-35 corridor compared to the ongoing potential over western OK. The 00Z OUN raob showed a stout capping inversion and large MLCINH (-300 J/kg). However, strong supercells and their internal dynamics may compensate to maintain some threat for a tornado immediately east of the current watch. With time, it appears the severe risk with the supercells as they move into central OK will transition to mainly hail/wind over central OK as storms move east of the moist axis. ..Smith.. 05/17/2017 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memphis Weather Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Would think SPC drops the 15% coming up here at 01z. OUN's latest chat indicates they believe the tornado threat has peaked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jojo762 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Needless to say... The wind-profile these supercells had to deal with was very impressive. Classic veering with height. But with that degree of CIN the tornado threat is about to diminish rapidly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
janetjanet998 Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 7:20 p.m. Barron County Sheriff Chris Fitzgerald says at least 20 people were injured when a tornado hit a mobile home park near Chetek in western Wisconsin. The tornado damaged the Prairie Lakes Estates trailer park north of Chetek. The National Weather Service reported a touchdown in the area just after 5:30 p.m. Tuesday. Sheriff's dispatchers say they're too busy to provide details. Chetek Mayor Jeff Martin tells KSTP-TV that numerous emergency vehicles have gone to the trailer park. He estimates the park had around 50 homes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted May 17, 2017 Share Posted May 17, 2017 Probably a good time to point out that the environment further south between CDS and ABI is also favorable for significant tornadoes with the supercells emerging down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
