Severe Weather Threat - May 6, 2024

[Maxis_s]

Looks like it weakened a fair amount just before entering town. Still strong but nowhere near what it was earlier.

Not ever tornado in a populated area needs to be a TORE

This one certainly should.

 

[warneagle]

Very weird decision when you have a TDS and ground truth moving into a city of 40,000 people.

 

[Clancy]

Not even sure what is or isn't tornado at this point. Will also hit Dewey.

 

[TornadoFan]

That is a huge TDS.

 

[Peter Griffin]

Looks like twins

This tornado might have just wiped Barnsdall off the map, and 10 mins later they downgrade the TORE as it makes a direct hit with a pretty big town. I don't care if it's cycling or weakening, I think you have to keep the TORE.

Tornado emergencies aren't usually downgraded even if the tornado is cycling. It's usually standard procedure to keep it in place until you're confident the tornado has lifted.

This one certainly should.

We’ll see. It was much weaker than it was 20 minutes ago.

If it's a tornado as strong as this one, then it would be stupid not to.

especially when it has killed people and is entering a population center.

The TDS went right through Bartlesville.

 

[hurricaneguy]

Storms in SW OK looking more linear so far. Would be great if this current storm is the last discrete supercell tonight

 

[Muwx]

The TDS went right through Bartlesville.

I didn’t say it didn’t. Doesn't automatically mean it needed a TORE.

 

[Tempestas Tonitrua]

Think the line finally got it

 

[Evan]

I think we're going to have some big problems here in a little while with those cells to the west and southwest of Norman. Hope to be wrong.

 

[172556]

Not sure if debris, but there is an area on CC above the tornado visible from KTWX which would put it at 35kft.

 

[CheeselandSkies]

Wasn't it that cell that produced the Old Kingston, AL EF3 in January 2023 that continued producing strong tornadoes for quite some time after it got munched by the line, into western Georgia? The Keota, IA cell of March 31 was similar; the initial "catch-up" of the line induced a cycle that produced the Amish-Frytown EF0, then it became fully embedded yet produced 2 EF2s across and northeast of the Iowa City metro.

Yeah, not a fan.

The classic route.

Yeah, looks more like a commahead now.
