Live severe weather chat happening here: https://bit.ly/2Wi4vLx

I've got a slack channel spun up for severe weather events and pull in a ton of info automatically from various sources:

I started up a slack channel if anyone here is interested in real-time chat, especially considering how fast-moving this event is looking likely to be.

OUN's latest video update used about the strongest possible language I've heard them use before. They usually err on the side of being conservative.

News 9 is the "best," but is by no means perfect. I avoid Mike Morgan out of principle for his 5/20/13 coverage, telling people to get in their cars and drive south

Completely agree.

KOCO to a lesser extent and KFOR in OKC are pretty notorious with the locals for fear mongering. KWTV and David Payne are the most professional IMO. 

Which of the models at this point are leaving the door open for a lower-end tornado threat? How has that particular model performed in recent past? Sorry, non-technical  weather geek alert here.

Mike Morgan is infamous for his "drive south" moment that put a lot of people in danger. 

I've created a new Slack group for storm discussions. Might be useful for real-time chat:

Seems like we were saying that last week about this week.  

Welp, I posted this as a joke last week when it looked like a busy day today. Can't say I'm sad that it won't be a higher-end day for C OK.

I'm with you guys. EPS, GEFS, and GEPS all have something significant brewing for late next week.

Would think the euro caves. GFS has been *very* consistent.

 

On the GFS.. this would favor discrete tornadic supercells by as early as 21-22z. Rapid storm organization would be likely with ample low-deep layer shear early on in the day. Could be a busy day if the GFS verifies.

What region would this be affecting? 

A couple days ago I heard a lot of hype about potential severe weather on Friday the 21st here in the southern plains. Have model runs today backed off that? 

Any idea when we might see the next round of significant severe weather in the central/southern plains?
