Severe Weather Threat May 17-19, 2025

Storms sw of Ness City, KS might need to be followed.

Looks like the Arnett, OK storm is cycling with its motion more towards the NE, an increase in speed, and the shape isn't as impressive. With that said though, the mid-level rotation still look very strong so I doubt it is done.

Yeah, its in one of the most extreme observed parameter environments I have seen.

 

[Tanner]

We're still seeing dynamics moving northwards, thus I don't see that limiting much at all. The environment isn't just sitting as the storms traverse northeast.

So what’s latest with southern ks?

 

[ColdFront]

CIN helps storms produce tornados….? What..?

I think North Texas might be a big sleeper threat in the next 2-4 hours.

The SPC seems to agree. And then we still have tomorrow to worry about

Why so?

Ryan Hall is becoming unwatchable. They need to kill the 'Try too hard to talk cute and hip' mode of that stupid Y'allbot. I want to see tornado coverage, not cringe nonsense.

Yeah makes no sense.. lol

the AI voice makes me oddly uncomfortable. it's like an uncanny valley sort of thing.

I think he's trying to cater to a sensationalist, non-serious, highly anxious audience of overly low-information viewers.

May or may not be a tornado on the ground.

 

[ColdFront]

Arnett storm seems to be losing structure

Arnett storm seems to be losing structure

Very dry air aloft is slowly killing it, with no other convection around to reinforce it, it may not have long left.

Report of 5 inch hail from the Arnett storm!

 

[ColdFront]

Something has to be off with the environment around Arnett. The parameters in that area are as high as I’ve seen, but that tornado dropped two ropes and is now losing structure.

I really feel like we have hit the peak of this event already

I wouldn't call off the event until something drastic happens and/or the nighttime hours show nothing of interest

I agree. Nothing mentioned about why he thinks that. Is it just a guess? Is it something you saw? Which part of N Texas are you referring to? Please be a little more specific when making that kind of a statement.
