Newly Issued Tornado Watch:
The Storm Prediction Center has issued A Tornado watch which will extend through 1:00 AM Friday morning. This encompasses most of our counties in Eastern Oklahoma and stretches further to the south and west.
Most of the activity today has been confined to central Oklahoma and Texas. The parent Low pressure system has moved very little today as it is near vertically stacked in the atmosphere, meaning that from the surface to about 40,000 feet there is one broad scale circulation. Waves of low pressure have been spiraling around this Low. A wave that’s now pushing into the Dallas area looks to provide the necessary lift to initiate storms to a rather unstable atmosphere later tonight across the area affected by the watch.
Timing wise for our area, the later part of tonight into the early morning looks to be the most favorable for the threat of severe weather. Imbedded thunderstorms may also contain high wind gusts as well as hail. We’ll be tracking all developments throughout the entire event and will be making cut-ins as deemed necessary.
