Quite an eerie appearance on KFOR's broadcast. Going to be hard to see for folks on the ground, likely rain-wrapped. Hope chasers are staying safe out there.

What a view of the Okeene cell.

 

[wx_guy]

Not sure if these initial discrete cells will congeal into an MCS or anything, but the latest mesoanalysis has the entire area (a huge area, actually) with a 90%+ chance of maintaining an MCS if it forms, so I don't think it's important if they stay discrete or not, with the parameters we have now. It's going to suck either way.

Tornado is now rain-wrapped but really ramping up.

TDS + doughnut hole.

This thing is huge!

Where??

 

[nativetoalaska]

Looking at the velocity couplet for the Okeene tornado from KTLX is incredible. Reflectivity suggests it's being rain-wrapped at the moment.

 

[Clancy]

Storm near Eagle City intensifying rapidly.
