Areas affected...much of central Oklahoma
Concerning...Tornado Watch 33...
Valid 102353Z - 110300Z
The severe weather threat for Tornado Watch 33 continues.
SUMMARY...The environment is becoming more favorable for tornadoes
along and east of I-35 in Oklahoma, along with damaging hail threat.
DISCUSSION...A supercell is currently moving across eastern Canadian
into Oklahoma County, with another supercell currently over Cotton
moving into Stephens County. Given the discrete nature of these
cells, they will likely continue to pose a destructive hail and
tornado threat for several hours and they approach and move across
the I-35 corridor.
The latest TLX VWP is showing a gradual increase in low-level shear,
with 0-1 SRH now over 150 m2/s2. The OK Mesonet shows more robust
dewpoints generally along and south of a line from CHK to SNL with
65 to 67 F.
As such, over the next few hours, the low-level shear and
environment in general should continue to favor supercells with both
tornado and large hail risk, as these cells move across I-35. A
potentially even greater tornado risk could develop in the 00-03Z
time frame as the low-level jet increases.
