This system reminds me a little bit of the February 21-22, 1975 event that Gary England wrote about in his book, Weathering the Storm: Tornadoes, Televsion & Turmoil. Several strong tornadoes hit southwestern Oklahoma that night including an F2 that killed two in Altus despite seemingly unfavorable surface thermodynamics.

It is 65/58 in Altus right now. It is 58/55 in my area. I wouldn't consider it unfavorable but probably a fair chance because those temperatures are fairly warm and moist for this time of year.

Remain alert for a possible tornado! Tornadoes can develop quickly

basement or small central room in a sturdy structure.

These are potentially deadly storms. Seek shelter in an interior room
on the lowest floor of a well-built structure. Abandon vehicles in
search of a more substantial permanent structure. Stay away from
windows.

Intense thunderstorm lines can produce brief tornadoes and widespread
significant wind damage. Although a tornado is not immediately
likely, it is best to move to an interior room on the lowest floor of
a building. These storms may cause serious injury and significant
property damage.

Sure looks like a tornado approaching Hobart:

Edit: Missed town to the west, more of a northerly component of motion.

Sure looks like a tornado approaching Hobart:

Yup. Small but noticeable TDS


edit: definitely not small

 

[Brice]

Tornado near Hobart

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Missed Hobart but sure hit something. One of the more impressive TDS's I've seen in a rural area of the Plains. Not nearly as many trees as in the Southeast or Midwest.

For reference, it also snowed in Altus that night…

Looks like a new one spinning up west of Gotebo, OK.

Kind of concerning that this appears to be the strongest part of the QLCS and it's heading right for the metro.

Is it me or did Binger just get hit with a strong tornado without velocity showing much of anything?

Maybe a hail core?
