Thank goodness, because the other ingredients in place would allow for strong tornado activity if a supercell went up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxWatcher007 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I know most discussion has been OK and KS but three Tor warnings up north of Sioux Falls as well along the convective line. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Floydbuster Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Looks like a nasty night out there, but perhaps not as insane as some earlier forecasts, thankfully. (I'm just guessing that because my social media feed is going insane with cope threads when earlier it was chasers sayings things like "memories of Joplin 2011".

Normandy Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I’d watch the tail end Charlie heading just north of OKC metro. Low level jet will start cranking more so not ready to say bust yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WxSynopsisDavid Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Again…come back and scream bust at 4am-5am. Bulk of this threat was forecasted to be nocturnal, around midnight.

Powerball Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Up until this point, there's been nothing to force convective development south of I-40 That said, I would still keep an eye out on the Lawton and Wichita Falls area for more discrete development over the next couple of hours, especially with the actual jet streak moving in. NWS Norman seems to be on a similar wavelength, because they're now thinking the best timing for severe weather in OKC and southward is between 11pm and 1am. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vman722 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Not calling bust on the nocturnal threat, but it’s safe to say the couple discrete supercells earlier that were very similar to what the CAMS depicted underperformed the lofty expectations. There were def some brief most likely heavily rain wrapped tornadoes but overall the first part was tempered. Curious to hear from experienced Mets why they mostly failed to take advantage of the wild parameter space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those things are happening as I type this….reason why I will say, yet again, the forecast was for 9pm-4am. Midnight is the sweet spot in the timing.
