Boy that cold front sure is racing into western Ok. Methinks this undercuts and goes linear fast. Environment too ripe and storms popping up too quickly.

Hey all. I come on here for weather updates. I am learning how to read analogs. However, I’ve got a business trip coming up in New Orleans and ill be driving in from East Texas Wednesday and arriving in NO Wednesday afternoon. Is this more of an AL/MS event or Louisiana/NO also? ill obviously be watching the SPc next few days but does travel and stay in NO look alright for Wednesday?

This just goes to show how hard it is to forecast these severe storms. The SPC does a great job for the most part highlighting the risk area but OKC metro was under a very low risk of tornadoes today. I know these weren’t classic tornadoes in terms of funnels but more or less QLCS spin ups and a lot of people don’t understand just how dangerous and life threatening they are because it’s not a traditional tornadoes. And to add there were fatalities in a hotel proably from people traveling and had no clue about the weather in the area.

Has anyone looked at tomorrow for SW/C. OK? Looks like a line of storms blowing thru at 21z on the 00Z run? But I don’t know how to interpret if it’s run of the mill storms or severe

You mean NE OK?

While I understand forecasting weather is probably not easy but this weather forming down around burkburnett and Wichita Falls wasn’t even in a risk area for two days. And now it’s got a monster cell. This goes to show is how weather can humble us

You mean NE OK

Mike Morgan just called a hook a stinger tail or the scorpions tail. I’ve never heard that. Does he make up his own language?

Thank you. I love this forum

Random question as we all watch this unfold. What are the darker red streaks on a CAM? When I do an HRRR loop say for UH reflectivity > 25? I’ve alwasy wondered what those signify? thanks.

Well despite the conditional or not the weather outside just feels a lot worse than Monday did. Im sweating inside my house with the AC on

Uh, wasn’t today a conditional today for some areas? Now a PDS? You just never know with the weather

When a sounding is posted is that for a specific area or the atmosphere in general? Like, where so this sounding at lat/lon? and as green as I am isn’t that a stout cap at 850mb? don’t beat me up. I am still trying to learn how to read these thing
