[Equus]

Gonna have a great view from TOKC

[Equus]

It's gonna time it just right and start really producing once it senses the OKC suburbs isn't it, every time

TOG on the Chickasha storm.

 

[buckeye05]

I'm confused. I'm watching live news streams and I didn't see anything. When exactly was that on the ground?

 

[TornadoFan]

 

[buckeye05]

I'm seeing multiple areas of rotation within that OKC area supercell currently. Could get ugly if it consolidates or one rotation becomes dominant.

 

[buckeye05]

I think the Chickasha area circulation is trying to become dominant

 

[Tennie]

It looks as though the Chickasha cell MIGHT go south of Norman.

 

[TornadoFan]

Looks absolutely classic.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Let's see if this thing does something stupid like produce a tornado way out in the clear air with no hook (like Andover).

 

[buckeye05]

Still seeing multiple areas of circulation. It's probably not going to really take off until one becomes dominant. Now it looks like the southern meso is trying to tighten again. They keep going back and forth.

 

[Equus]

Definitely waiting on it to consolidate, the sooner it does so the better the chance it goes south of Norman proper

 

[Tennie]

Emergency management reporting trees down and houses damaged in the area of Monroe, OK.

 

[Equus]

They're gonna have to decide what kind of warning comes out for Blanchard etc in a minute here

 

[Equus]

Tornado warning extended east, looks to go south of Norman proper

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Channel 9 met totally geeking out over the structure on air.

 

[Tennie]

Channel 9 met totally geeking out over the structure on air.

And can you really blame him?

 

[SilentShadow87]

Circulation looks like it's tightening up a bit now. Good news is that there doesn't seem to be much in the immediate path.

 

[Equus]

Just a monster of a supercell, taking its time to ramp up in the low levels though; shear is slightly weaker the further south we go but there should still be sufficient low level helicity to get it going
