Textbook supercell likely producing strong tornado in NW OK now, this is exactly why the SPC updated outlooks to include 5#. Absolutely nasty hook echo.

My expectations for today are pretty low, I think we end up with a sloppy storm mode later and perhaps an overnight QLCS. If anything discrete can get rooted it would be a potential strong tornado producer but I'm not sure if we'll see many of those. Let's see if it can prove me wrong.

I watched Convective Chronicles interview wih SPC people and meaning of different CIGs, but the graphic says hatching is >10% chance w/i 25 miles of EF-2 or greater and the CIG1 extends into >5% and >2% probs.

Am I confused or are they confused?

Might still be the old graphic? They can do 2 and 5 hatching now, like we saw yesterday.

Has this outbreak surpassed the expectations that were made?

I can definitely speak to one thing the best tornado chances from the SPC products were east of here. Not to mention Michigan which was even more odd

Well see what the nighttime and morning brings but I'm pretty sure there were multiple tornadoes in the metro here
