And it's moving SE towards Moore...

 

[MMWX]

Very active day for a 5% TOR risk. I haven't been keeping up with it but came here when I saw a TOR warning for OKC metro/Moore.

Crazy supercell behavior. Each tornado occludes and zips off to the NNW while the overall storm propagates and cycles to the SE.

Actually more typical than you'd think. Surface lows commonly will occlude to the north and take a northwest turn at the very end of their life cycle.

Where is The Weather Channel when you need them?

TWC has been a joke for over a decade.

It tried too hard to turn into an entertainment channel too but I think that drove off a lot of it's viewers (like me).

I remember once (cannot remember the day and year) where there were like 4 or 5 active warnings in April and they were too busy showing Highway Thru Hell or whatever that show is called.

I haven't watched TWC in probably 6 years.
