Memorial Day weekend severe threats

Sure is. One my favorite plains tornado days. In other news, things seem to be getting a lot more cellular area wide, those two large supercells in SW MO/SE KS certainly garner some attention right now.

My av is also that day :)

HRRR appears to be getting a better handle on current precipitation we'll see what next model run looks like.  I'm targeting US75 and HWY20 between Collinsville and Skiatook this afternoon.  Good road options in all directions.

Later on toward evening, depending on convective evolution/mode, seems like a relatively higher tornado threat will exist across NE OK INVOF of the mesolow/weakly defined low where surface winds may be backed a bit more toward for south/southeast... ATTM surface winds are locally backed to the southeast near this feature in NC OK.

I'm getting an eerie May 22nd vibe. It's very humid outside, a passing shower/thundershower passed through around noon. A cluster of storms in SE KS moving slowly. It hasn't been as sunny as that day though. If rapid development happens in far NE OK..... very eerie. 

I'm hoping the SE KS storms produce a cold pool and accelerate to the SE with it and push through. My fear is they'll produce an OFB that comes south at the same time explosive development happens in NE OK and they'll ride that boundary and produce tornadoes.....

 

 

You are not alone.

MESOSCALE DISCUSSION 0866  
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
0204 PM CDT SAT MAY 27 2017  
  
AREAS AFFECTED...NORTHERN AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA  
  
CONCERNING...SEVERE POTENTIAL...WATCH LIKELY   
  
VALID 271904Z - 272030Z  
  
PROBABILITY OF WATCH ISSUANCE...95 PERCENT  
  
SUMMARY...A TORNADO WATCH PROBABLY WILL BE ISSUED BY 20-21Z.  RAPID  
SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT APPEARS LIKELY BY AROUND 23-00Z, IF NOT  
BEFORE, PARTICULARLY NEAR THE TULSA AREA.  
  
DISCUSSION...THE LATEST OBJECTIVE MESOANALYSIS SUGGESTS THAT  
INHIBITION FOR BOUNDARY LAYER PARCELS IS AT LEAST BEGINNING TO  
WEAKEN IN RESPONSE TO INSOLATION ALONG THE SURFACE FRONTAL ZONE NOW  
EXTENDING ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA.  MORE SUBSTANTIVE WEAKENING OF  
INHIBITION APPEARS LIKELY TO AWAIT THE SOUTHWARD SUPPRESSION OF  
MID-LEVEL HEIGHTS AND THE NORTHERN PERIPHERY OF THE PLUME OF VERY  
WARM ELEVATED MIXED LAYER AIR, AS COUPLED IMPULSES WITHIN THE  
MID-LATITUDE AND SUBTROPICAL WESTERLIES CONTINUE TO EMERGE FROM THE  
SOUTHERN ROCKIES.  THE LATEST RAPID REFRESH, AMONG OTHER MODEL  
OUTPUT, SUGGESTS THAT THIS MAY NOT OCCUR UNTIL CLOSER TO, OR PERHAPS  
AFTER, 23-00Z.  HOWEVER, CONVECTIVE INITIATION SEEMS AT LEAST  
POSSIBLE EARLIER.  
  
REGARDLESS, ONCE THE CAP WEAKENS, THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BE  
RAPID, IN THE PRESENCE OF STRONG TO EXTREME CAPE (IN EXCESS OF 4000  
J/KG) AND STRONG DEEP LAYER SHEAR.  THIS PROBABLY WILL AT LEAST  
INITIALLY INCLUDE THE RISK FOR SUPERCELLS, WITH POTENTIAL FOR VERY  
LARGE HAIL AND A COUPLE OF TORNADOES, PARTICULARLY ON THE NOSE OF  
THE CORRIDOR OF STRONGEST PRE-FRONTAL SURFACE HEATING, ROUGHLY IN  
THE VICINITY OF TULSA.  ADDITIONAL, ISOLATED SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT  
MAY NOT BE OUT OF THE QUESTION, FARTHER SOUTHWEST ALONG THE  
INTERSTATE 44 CORRIDOR NEAR THE OKLAHOMA CITY AREA.

92/74 here in Tulsa...Sunny and extremely hot! Have family and friends at Rocklahoma tonight..hoping they get out of there when these storms fire up. Will this watch be a PDS?

No. Not enough confidence in a sig tor threat for that.

If the derecho threat pans out, they could issue a PDS severe thunderstorm watch, so I wouldn't rule it out entirely.

He's referring to the watch to come for E OK and vicinity though.

18z SGF sounding is troublesome if the low level shear increases later on.

As expected, the environment is extremely unstable across eastern Oklahoma with more than adequate deep layer shear for intense supercells. CINH is eroding and satellite imagery shows an increasingly agitated cu field. Low-level shear is modest, but given the degree of buoyancy and relatively low LCLs, any longer-lived discrete cells that go up will certainly have strong/intense tornado potential. There may only be one or two, if any, but still... CAMs have struggled with convective placement, but I'd focus on an outflow boundary in NE Oklahoma (especially if a cell goes up near the effective triple point it creates with a surface low) and then in another area, closer to the Red River in southern Oklahoma, immediately ahead of the dryline, where shear vectors are essentially orthogonal to the boundary.

At 301 PM CDT, a confirmed tornado was located near Lebanon, moving
east at 40 mph.

HAZARD...Damaging tornado and half dollar size hail.

SOURCE...Radar confirmed tornado.

IMPACT...Flying debris will be dangerous to those caught without
         shelter. Mobile homes will be damaged or destroyed. Damage
         to roofs, windows, and vehicles will occur.  Tree damage is

To repeat, a tornado is on the ground. TAKE COVER NOW! Move to a
basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy
building. Avoid windows. If you are outdoors, in a mobile home, or in
a vehicle, move to the closest substantial shelter and protect
yourself from flying debris.

It seems like storms are trying to get going and break the cap in central OK as I peruse that radar in motion. Having a hard time at the present moment.

Been doing that for an hour now, I suspect we're about an hour or so out, maybe 90 mins on some isolated early convection.
