2024 Tornado Season

[weatherobsuk]

It was non-stop yesterday from 7pm - 3am (UK time) with one Tornado report after another coming in, and some insane chaser footage of multi-vortex Tornadoes on the ground well within 1/2 mile distance. By some miracle there are no reported deaths and only a handful of injuries reported as a result of this outbreak.

[WeatherArc]

Lots of surface clearing ongoing in central Oklahoma, early storms firing but not impinging much on the atmosphere  down south, regardless of whether today goes high risk or not a dangerous tornado outbreak seems likely.

And so it begins.

Can anyone advise the best link for following this event please, I'm aware of Ryan Hall (y'all) on YouTube but if there's any others or local news channels please let me know. Thanks in advance!

 bazookabob to be fair the fox weather channel on YouTube is pretty good once things start ramping up.

We are gonna get absolutely amazing data from yesterdays tornadoes

 bazookabob News9/kfor from OKC is usually pretty good once things get going.

Would also recommend nate, goes into lots of detail with storms, such as doing 3D scans.

We have a potentially strong tornado on the ground

Multiple storms now firing, including a supercell that im not liking the track of at all, heading straight up I44, towards OKC, Moore and Norman. Hopefully wind shear is still low enough for it to pose just a hail threat.

 

[AndrewHamm]

What an insane couple days! Any predictions for the next couple weeks? I'm not super experienced, but its looking like early May will remain fairly active, possibly followed by a lull in May starting around May 14? Any insight would be appreciated!

[WeatherArc]

 AndrewHamm I havent looked but would guess a brief break after this event before things ramp up  early month. Seasonal models still favour an active may.

[WeatherArc]

Of the 15 or so strong tornadoes we got yesterday the vast majority of them were formed after cell mergers, this cell going up I44 needs watching.

This was from yesterday, we all know what this storm did after these mergers.

 

[WeatherArc]

This went from 0 to 100 very quickly, multiple supercells firing all over the warm sector, many already hooking and trying to put tornadoes down.

 

[weatherobsuk]

 bazookabob I normally listen to Ryan as a collective or find any local live TV Stations within the vicinity of the Tornadoes for realtime info, livestormchasing is handy for finding chasers on the ground but i'm also subscribed to many chasers over on YouTube and then quickly browse through their 'live preview' windows if/when things get interesting.

[WeatherArc]

Okc metro, Moore, Norman and Edmond have all been added to the PDS tor watch

 

Hello?

[Eagle Eye]

 WeatherArc  It's broken the Nadocast scale. It's the 80% counter which wasn't even on the chance box.

I would watch all 3 of these cells closely as shear increases.
