Severe Weather Threat - May 6, 2024

[Julian]

Something is cooking near Stroud.

One of the more perplexing events I've seen in awhile.

I've heard a number of theories posited, but none of them seem that convincing just yet. Potentially an amalgamation of more than one issue, as can be the case, but certainly not at all what I expected from today.

Barnsdall showed the potential out there, and I guess we always knew storm initiation to the south was a bit of a question mark, but now that we've got initiation it's just perplexing to have these results in this environment.

Shows how incredibly difficult forecasting it. I think a lot of people were ruined by the early 2010s outbreaks. This kind of frustration really reminds me of the pre-2011 types of events that seemed can't miss, and, then, missed for whatever reason.

Lapse rates. That's it.

There’s been 15 tornado reports today, it’s ok to call something what it is.

If you keep this up, I doubt you'll be on this forum for another hour. Save your thoughts for when the event is over.

This is certainly not a bust. A possible violent EF4+ tornado struck Barnsdall, OK directly.

That's quite the notch.

I wouldn't even bother replying to him at this point, he's got to be trolling.

They are experiencing some extreme winds.

Yeah, not that this cell will do the same thing, but the Barnsdall storm went from looking "meh" to monstrous in just a scan or two.

I keep waiting for the supe northeast of OKC to do something similar over the course of a few scans. This environment absolutely supports such a thing so we're not remotely out of the woods yet.

Cut it out, you've been called out by other members and a moderator. There's still storms with a tornado warning within the high risk area, so it's not over yet.

I agree, but you gotta be a pretty sad human being to troll a weather forum.

 

[TornadoFan]

The only storm with even a severe thunderstorm warning is more of a bow echo than a supercell.

Looks nothing like a bow echo.

 

[Tanner]

Okay, let's stop. I'll take the blame for this one.

SVRD issued for OKC.

That's enough back and forth. Muddling up the thread with counter arguments just degrades the quality of the discussion. No bust posts during an active event, folks are touchy about it. No harassing somebody for a vaguely displaced bust post. If a rule is broken report it and move along

 

[TornadoFan17]

Storm on the classic Moore path now has a PDS T-Starm warning.

 

[andyhb]

The daytime portion of this event busted compared to expectations, no doubt about it. To say that about the nocturnal portion with what happened in NE OK would be egregious. There is nuance to this, and you are providing none of it.

 

[Brice W]

If he keeps it up for another 45-60 minutes I’m sure you can report him and have a moderator discuss things with him. In the meantime. The Norman and Moore storm is definitely getting organized.

 

[TH2002]

Some of us are just willing to call an event what it is. PHDs from ousom were doing it hours ago.

Cool, thanks for your input. Done with this conversation. Have a nice night.

 

[Brice W]

On bad storm doesn’t verify a high risk.

Dude let it go. If you have thoughts that people disagree and you aren’t willing to learn more about meteorology, then just chill. If the High risk verified or not, it’s still an extremely active severe weather period.

 

[Clancy]

Rotation has increased as this storm moves east of Stroud.
