Hello Oklahoma... currently the warm front is slowing down just south of us..there is backed surface winds, dew points in the 60s and temps in the 60s and increasing..stay tuned..a tornado watch is expected in the next few hours.

02/05/2022

Made it to I35, skies are clearing, sun is coming out, dew points are increasing and the warm front is advancing north..if this continues prepare for explosive development in Northern Oklahoma in the next 2-3hrs

Skies are starting to clear in western Oklahoma.... westbound...stay tuned.

Please understand this is not a forecast but one of many different types of model runs. This is interesting and concerning because since this afternoon several models are in agreement of a super cell capable of producing a tornado riding the state line of KS and Oklahoma with initiation between 3-5pm. Again this one of many model runs...and isn't a forecast..but this is interesting and concerning. Tomorrow's severe weather threat will depend highly on how fast early morning storms can get out of the area and the atmosphere can recover. The last several runs show cloud cover clearing west of I35 by noon...if this happens...the atmosphere will be more than supportive...

01/05/2022

Model data is becoming increasingly concerning for a high end tornado threat tomorrow in the plains...if you have family in South Central KS, Northern and Central Oklahoma please make sure they are aware of tomorrow's possibility of severe weather. As this threat pushes east tomorrow into the Ozarks the threat for damaging winds, hail and flooding, as well as an isolated tornado threat will be present.

I'll be headed towards the Wichita area tomorrow late morning. Stay tuned.

Tonight.

The latest HRRR model continues to push back storm initiation after midnight now. Storms will begin to fire anywhere from 11pm-1am in SE KS and SWMO as semi discreet cells and quickly form into a linear line. These storms are showing capabilities of being very large hail producers especially in the SWMO area. Get your cars inside or protected if you have the ability to do so before you go to bed. The tornado risk is not high but it's not zero..damaging winds and hail will along with heavy rain will be the primary hazards tonight, however a brief tornado cannot be ruled out.

Tuesday is looking to be one of the biggest risk days for tornadoes that we have seen in the last several years in traditional "tornado alley". From Omaha NE, through NE, Central and Southern Kansas, all the way through eastern and central Oklahoma, West and SWMO down to Texas. Moisture will be less as you travel north, but a more favorable wind profile.. moisture will be more with a less favorable wind profile as you go south...but still a VERY supportive environment for tornadoes. The biggest unknown right now is the coverage of storms..but if a storm develops within this area Tuesday..its going to become severe very quickly and pose a significant threat. Model runs today are now consistent with super cells firing along the dry line in the afternoon.

This is now a couple days out and we are now into the storm season. Have a way to get warnings, especially as this system pushes east it will present a nocturnal threat especially to western MO. You have time to prepare now...clean your safe rooms out , make sure you have your phone settings set to receive weather alerts, and have a plan in place.

We will be out Tuesday to provide live updates and will zero in on a target area in the next day.

I'm not gonna scream doomsday and hop on the panic causing bus. However soundings this morning continue to show an atmosphere very conductive for severe weather development this evening into the overnight hours. All modes of severe weather are possible including the increasingly likelihood of tornadoes, some of which could be violent and long lived. Don't wait till tonight or when a warning occurs to have a plan. Have a plan to seek shelter if needed and have a way to receive weather alerts.
