Severe WX May 4th-May 6th, 2022 Threat

[OHWX97]

The new meso north of Seminole looks vicious.

Might wanna take a look at the Vernon, TX storm. Looking very nasty on velocity.

GEEZ

Why does this have to be after dark? The footage of this would be incredible. Obviously that's the least of the worries for the people actually there but it's a shame not to have a good visual record of it.

The hell just happened? It moved to the northeast edge of Earlsboro, and it looks like then it plunged back south extremely quickly? Bizarre.

Might wanna take a look at the Vernon, TX storm. Looking very nasty on velocity.

It's ramped up even more the last two scans

 

[Equus]

Wow.

Absolute insanity. Damage survey will be very interesting.

 

[warneagle]

Grand Island 1980 vibes from that

 

[TH2002]

Very strangely behaved storms tonight... and of course, you can guess which town may have just gotten hit for the second time:

I leave for 10 minutes and we get tornadoes doing donuts. Figures.

Looks like it may have been interacting with that other circulation developing to its east?

 

[OHWX97]

I swear, those two mesos are undergoing some sort of Fujiwara effect.

 

[buckeye05]

Dual circulations

 

[warneagle]

One of the chasers on KOCO is reporting a large tornado northeast of Seminole. Not surprising based on radar but good to have ground truth.

 

[OHWX97]

Dual circulations
View attachment 13890

Both circulations are producing tornadoes. CC drop now apparent with the NE circulation.

 

[warneagle]

I swear, those two mesos are undergoing some sort of Fujiwara effect.

Does that work on a small scale like this? I've only heard of it with larger cyclones.

 

[Kolle]

Velocity aliasing?

 

[Equus]

This may be two separate supercells basically rotating around each other and merging with totally separate mesos, absolutely wild dynamics
