Texas Snowman wrote:Just that the high risk area in Oklahoma has been somewhat of a bust so far. Persistent in NW Oklahoma for sure. And of course, now we've got the Cherokee storm. But nothing even remotely threatening the central part of the state. So far.


SPC and models suggested capping that way, I think people mis-interpreted the high risk on the Oklahoma side, northern Oklahoma was always the better spot for storm formation in terms of today.

SW of Greensburg? Gosh I hope that doesn't go into the city. They've suffered way too much.
