Severe Weather Threat - May 6, 2024

[Maxis_s]

It may hit Bartlesville, OK later down the line if it's long-tracked. That's a city with over 37k population, not good.

 

[Clancy]

Hoping nothing drops on this thing as it nears Okarche.

 

[Muwx]

I’d be thinking about a long lead time warning for Bartlesville if I was at the desk right now

 

[JBishopwx]

Per chat radar intensity estimates now solidly EF3 for the tornado approaching Barnsdall

 

[Tempestas Tonitrua]

Cell popping up near Granite could be the one to track near the metro

 

[Clancy]

Unfortunately, here they come.

 

[OhOkayThen]

I think many gave up on this outbreak too quickly.

 

[Maxis_s]

Seems to be occluding thankfully.
Unfortunately, cells are forming south of Elk City. Not. Good.

 

[Clancy]

Disgusting TDS >17K ft.

 

[warneagle]

PDS SVR in SW KS

 

[Fred Gossage]

Raw analysis of the CC, ZDR, and reflectivity fields suggest debris may have actually extended beyond 20-21kft.

 

[rushdude]

The fact this is numbered '666' is ominous

 

[Maxis_s]

Occlusion seems to have failed.

 

[warneagle]

I think many gave up on this outbreak too quickly.

If only the forecasters had said all along that the peak threat would come after dark when the LLJ strengthened.

Oh, wait.

Fortunately, not much for it to hit at the moment. Now, if it holds together into Barnsdall, it's gonna be nasty.

Yeah that's an intense to violent tornado for sure.

 

[Muwx]

Hand off incoming on the new storm.

 

[nativetoalaska]

The Barnsdall tornado looks much more organized and potentially dangerous than the one that went through Bison earlier this afternoon. (And I think is the first PDS warning tonight?)

 

[Austin Dawg]

If only the forecasters had said all along that the peak threat would come after dark when the LLJ strengthened.

Oh, wait.

Most people only hear themselves.

Just be glad it's not PDS tornado watch No. 666.
