Severe Weather Threat - May 6, 2024

[hurricaneguy]

I think most scream Forecasted Convective Amplification Deficiency because they associate a high risk as a super outbreak type event. Multiple violent tornadoes on the ground in a short period of time. The SPC certainly did the right thing today. We are very fortunate the storms did not tap into the environment on a wide scale like Barnsdall.

New Missouri warning thankfully was just issued once it passed Joplin.

Circulation tightening up near Blue Springs, MO

Moore, go figure.

 

[Clancy]

Likely TOG NE of Joplin.

 

[BayouWeatherGeek]

Power flashes live on KWTV in both Norman and Moore from high winds taking out power lines.

 

[MMWX]

Carthage upgraded to confirmed.

 

[MMWX]

Very strong winds.

Lapse rates. That's it.

Maybe so. Low-level lapse rates definitely haven't been as steep as you'd ideally want. But, I thought they'd been increasing so if that's been one of the flies in the ointment we should see an escalation soon.

Carthage upgraded to confirmed.

Interesting how it's embedded well enough in the line that it hardly shows up on reflectivity but is incredibly present on velocity.

I’m far more concerned about the storm south of Lawton than the one near Moore, very healthy appearance as of now.

Carthage velocity is wild.

 

[MMWX]

Too much going on in both Moore and Carthage to be continuing this meaningless argument.

 

[Clancy]

TOG?
Edit: Per KFOR, Tornado Warning forthcoming for this circulation.

 

[Evan]

Very strong winds.

Probably 80mph+

 

[MMWX]

Moore also experiencing at the minimum a very strong straightline wind event.
