Squall line west of OKC is being warned for 70 mph winds and quarter sized hail. Moving at a pretty good clip.

Today should continue to be quite active in the hail department, but there will be far less tornadoes than originally anticipated. We've got the dreaded veer-back-veer wind profile across the Moderate risk area, and the cap broke much sooner than forecast; both of these lead to messy storm modes/linear cells. That begin said, tornadoes remain very much in play, a couple of which may be strong.

What a shock, far less anticipated tornadoes, every time I turn around its the same thing. I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss the number of tornadoes (not telling you that, you know this) as we're up to 12 tornado reports (seemingly all in NE for some reason) and have been getting a lot of TOR warnings so far today. The atmosphere wasn't suppose to have as much instability as the previous few days yet the cap broke that easy? Confused on that one. I don't see many sups though, and looking for the strong tornadoes too.

I thought I read that they dispersed by late morning? I couldn't check myself because I wasn't at a computer.

Here is a snippet from the SPC discussion on Wednesday morning:

SPC Discussion wrote:FORECAST SOUNDINGS AT 21Z FROM DODGE CITY...CHILDRESS AND LAWTON
SHOW LOADED-GUN SOUNDINGS WITH MLCAPE OF 2000 TO 3500 J/KG...0-6 KM
SHEAR AROUND 40 KT AND 700 TO 500 MB LAPSE RATES OF 8.0 C/KM. THIS
IMPRESSIVE ENVIRONMENT SHOULD EASILY SUPPORT SUPERCELL DEVELOPMENT
AND LARGE HAIL WILL BE LIKELY WITH ANY ROBUST UPDRAFT THAT
INITIATES.
HAILSTONES GREATER THAN 2 INCHES IN DIAMETER WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH SUPERCELLS THAT BECOME DOMINANT. TORNADOES WILL ALSO
BE POSSIBLE WITH THE MORE ORGANIZED SUPERCELLS WITH THE THREAT
INCREASING LATE THIS AFTERNOON AS STORMS MOVE EWD AWAY FROM THE
DRYLINE. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR STRONG TORNADOES THIS AFTERNOON
IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM NEAR DODGE CITY SWD ACROSS THE ERN TX
PANHANDLE AND WRN OK TO AROUND CHILDRESS WHERE SFC WINDS ARE LOCALLY
BACKED. DUE TO IMPRESSIVE SHEAR AND THERMODYNAMICS...A 15 PERCENT
TORNADO CONTOUR HAS BEEN ADDED FROM SW KS SWD INTO NW TX WHERE
LOW-LEVEL SHEAR SHOULD BE ENHANCED BY A STRENGTHENING 40 TO 55 KT
LOW-LEVEL JET EARLY THIS EVENING. SWATHS OF WIND DAMAGE WILL BE
POSSIBLE WITH THE MORE INTENSE SUPERCELLS AND BOW ECHOS.

This was easily the most aggressive and bullish SPC outlook of 2013 for Wednesday. I don't remember seeing "Loaded Gun" being stated in one of these. As of midnight, there have been 0 tornado reports in OK and some on the eastern fringe of the MOD risk area in KS and parts of NE. The greatest cluster of tornado reports were outside of the MOD in NE to the east. The tornadoes that did form were mostly weak landspout type. This is in the top 4 largest busts I've ever seen, wow! This seems to happen 70% of the time in meteorology, the most hyped or expected large events do nothing while the inverse is true.

Joe Bastardi@BigJoeBastardi 17h - So far 40 of the 100 plus tornadoes forecasted by _________ from Sat.
Big ticket severe weather days today, tomorrow plains.


I think the previous two days were big tickets. Wednesday was a dirty and messy ticket.

Only a slight risk across the Southern Plains for today, but still should be an active weather day. That will depend, of course, on how worked over the atmosphere is from the morning clouds and storms.

Highest threat area looks to include the Tulsa and OKC metros.

..CORFIDI/BOTHWELL.. 05/30/2013


A strongly worded SPC discussion again for today which is no surprise. If you look at the first one posted early this morning, there is even a reference to yesterday's bust which they make points on as to why that same thing won't happen again today. Its very rare to see the SPC callback to previous day unless convection leftovers is involved.

Friday is also starting to look very dangerous as well, even more so than first indicated near the start of this week. The potential is present for all hell to break loose on both days if things "go as planned."

:uarrow: :uarrow: :uarrow: This was from late last night, this has got to be the ultimate trolling from mother nature. The most powerful supercell that I've ever seen depicted by these radar sim products to date with it showing even a little hook at times on such thing, insane...smack in the center where Moore and OKC is located! :eek: :eek: :eek: Like, there is nothing else in NA like that at the time and the one place its sitting is on top of that area...when the people of Moore see this they're going to be pissed! BTW, this product has been very accurate before so its not just some random crap.

Clouds are already breaking up much better than they did yesterday, sun is out in Central Oklahoma. CAPE already over 3000 around the OKC area.

There was concern over the lowered dewpoints last night because of the heavy rain in Oklahoma, but that is no longer a question, dewpoints are back up into the lower 70's.

It's that time of year when dews easily recover. As in a previous post, each day is different and we should view it as a fresh set up. Today will be different compared to yesterday as there was a better shortwave yesterday which produced numerous thunderstorms that congealed. Today's piece of energy is weaker however the atmosphere is much more unstable. We will get less coverage of storms but more likely the ones that pop will be discrete and much more dangerous. Central, south-central, and eastern Oklahoma are the primed targets modelling is focusing on.

1126 AM CDT THU MAY 30 2013

VALID 301630Z - 311200Z

...THERE IS A MDT RISK OF SVR TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT
ACROSS PARTS OF CNTRL AND ERN OK...

...THERE IS A SLGT RISK OF SVR TSTMS FROM THE UPPER MIDWEST INTO SRN
PLAINS AND OZARK PLATEAU...


...SYNOPSIS...

A NEGATIVELY TILTED MIDLEVEL TROUGH EXTENDING FROM AN UPPER LOW OVER
THE NRN HIGH PLAINS INTO SRN PLAINS WILL PIVOT NEWD THROUGH THE
MID/UPPER-MS VALLEY IN RESPONSE TO THE PROGRESSION OF
MID/UPPER-LEVEL JET STREAKS THROUGH AND DOWNSTREAM OF THE TROUGH
BASE. THIS LARGE-SCALE PATTERN EVOLUTION WILL CONTRIBUTE TO A
CORRIDOR OF HEIGHT FALLS FROM THE MID-MS/LOWER-MO VALLEYS NEWD INTO
THE UPPER GREAT LAKES WITH HEIGHT RISES ACROSS THE CNTRL/SRN HIGH
PLAINS.

IN THE LOW LEVELS...A SURFACE FRONT EXTENDING FROM AN OCCLUDED LOW
PRESSURE OVER N-CNTRL SD THROUGH CNTRL PARTS OF NEB/KS TO A
SECONDARY LOW OVER N-CNTRL OK WILL SLOWLY ADVANCE EWD. THE SWRN
EXTENSION OF THIS FRONT FROM THE N-CNTRL OK LOW INTO WRN TX WILL
TRANSITION TO A DRYLINE WHICH WILL MIX EWD THROUGH WRN OK AND
W-CNTRL TX TODAY. THE SYNOPTIC COLD FRONT AND DRYLINE ALONG WITH AN
OUTFLOW BOUNDARY SETTLING SWD THROUGH NRN OK WILL LIKELY SERVE AS
THE FOCAL POINTS FOR SEVERE TSTM DEVELOPMENT LATER TODAY.


...SRN PLAINS INTO OZARK PLATEAU THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

THE 12Z OUN SOUNDING SAMPLED A VOLATILE THERMODYNAMIC ENVIRONMENT
FEATURING A 700-500-MB LAPSE RATE IN EXCESS OF 9 C/KM ATOP A
DEEP...MOIST BOUNDARY LAYER WITH A LOWEST-100-MB MEAN MIXING RATIO
OF AROUND 15 G/KG. MIDLEVEL HEIGHT RISES/WARMING WITH THE PASSAGE
OF THE MIDLEVEL TROUGH WILL LESSEN LAPSE RATES IN THE MIDLEVELS
GENERALLY S OF 1-40...THOUGH DAYTIME HEATING SHOULD COMPENSATE WITH
MLCAPE APPROACHING 2500-3000 J/KG BY AFTERNOON S OF OUTFLOW BOUNDARY
AND E OF DRYLINE.

THE TRAILING EXTENSION OF HEIGHT FALLS ATTENDANT TO MIDLEVEL TROUGH
PROGRESSING INTO THE MID-MS VALLEY COUPLED WITH A RELATIVELY WEAK
CAP OBSERVED ON THE 12Z OUN/LZK SOUNDINGS MAY PERMIT ONGOING TSTMS
ACROSS ERN OK TO PERSIST EWD INTO AR...WITH THE NRN EXTENSION OF
THIS REGIME POTENTIALLY MERGING WITH ONGOING MCS OVER CNTRL/ERN KS
INTO WRN MO. THE RISK FOR HAIL AND DAMAGING WINDS WILL EXIST WITH
THE MORE OUTFLOW DOMINANT CONVECTION ASSOCIATED WITH THE MCS...WHILE
ALL FACETS OF SEVERE WEATHER WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THE STORMS MOVING
INTO AR.

IN THE WAKE OF THIS ACTIVITY...CONDITIONAL UNCERTAINTY EXISTS WITH
REGARD TO STORM DEVELOPMENT ALONG THE DRYLINE OWING TO RISING
MIDLEVEL HEIGHTS THROUGH THE PEAK OF THE DIURNAL HEATING CYCLE. AS
SUCH...STRONG HEATING W OF THE DRYLINE WILL BE THE PRIMARY MECHANISM
FOSTERING ANY STORM DEVELOPMENT. SHOULD ISOLATED STORMS DEVELOP AND
BECOME SUSTAINED...THE COMBINATION OF STRONG AMOUNTS OF INSTABILITY
AND VERTICAL SHEAR WILL SUPPORT INTENSE SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF VERY
LARGE HAIL AND TORNADOES /POSSIBLY SIGNIFICANT/ ACROSS THE MODERATE
RISK AREA.


...MID-MS VALLEY INTO UPPER MIDWEST THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...

ONE OR MULTIPLE BANDS OF TSTMS ARE EXPECTED TO EVOLVE TODAY
DOWNSTREAM FROM KS/WRN MO MCS AS HEIGHT FALLS ACT ON A MOIST AND
MODERATELY UNSTABLE /I.E. MLCAPE VALUES OF 1000-1500 J PER KG/ AIR
MASS. OBSERVED AND FORECAST WIND PROFILES EXHIBIT A VEER-BACK
SIGNATURE WHICH WILL PROMOTE MIXED STORM MODES WITH THE PRIMARY
HAZARD BEING DAMAGING WINDS. HOWEVER...GIVEN THE MOIST...LOW LCL
BOUNDARY LAYER AND MODERATELY STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR...A FEW
TORNADOES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH EMBEDDED SUPERCELLS AND/OR
LINE-RELATED MESO-VORTICES.

...MID-MO VALLEY THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING...

RELATIVELY COLD MIDLEVEL TEMPERATURES WILL ALIGN WITH FILTERED
SUNSHINE AND BOUNDARY LAYER DEWPOINTS IN THE 50S TO YIELD POCKETS OF
MODEST DESTABILIZATION THIS AFTERNOON. LOW-LEVEL UPLIFT ALONG THE
COLD FRONT SHOULD BE SUFFICIENT TO INITIATE SCATTERED TSTMS SOME OF
WHICH WILL BE CAPABLE OF SEVERE HAIL.

Also should be noted, aside from the threats of Large Hail, Winds, and Tornadoes.

There is a very high flooding risk over NE Oklahoma. Widespread 4-7 inches is likely, and possibly up to 10 inches in locations through Saturday.

Skiatook, OK has already received 4.85 inches in the past 24 hours.
