  1. A horrible night for the people of Barnsdall and Bartlesville OK. There are a couple of videos taken from the Hampton Inn, Bartlesville. Tornado sirens wailing at the beginning, then power flashes and the siren stops as the big tornado moves into town. Video below (strong language as you might expect!). There were a few weaker tornadoes elsewhere but it feels like things could have been a lot worse given the environment and what the models and Storm Prediction Center were forecasting.
  2. 9 News Now livestream has been good so far with several chasers on the ground in Oklahoma. Been watching the storms develop.
  3. The western OK cell is starting to spin a bit now. First of the afternoon for Oklahoma, definitely not the last.
  4. Evening all. Talking of Reed Timmer, anyone catch his stream the other day in Texas? That was pretty crazy. Given the risk area, today reminds me of the Moore tornado. I somehow managed to watch that one live through a news channel’s online stream. A truly remarkable (for all the wrong reasons) event. First storm has popped off in western OK, it’ll be interesting to see what it does and if it gives us any hint of what to expect later on…
  5. Enhanced risk from the SPC for the next 3 days across southern US. This includes a 10% hatched risk area tomorrow and already a Day 3 enhanced risk that discusses tornadoes as the primary threat. I haven’t looked at the charts but it looks like the threat moves east a bit each day from TX through LA/MS.
  6. Been following the lead-up to this over the last few days and it certainly seems like there’s a high possibility of severe weather tonight and tomorrow. NWS seem to think the biggest tornado threat today is from 11pm onwards UK time. Given the threat has increased a bit to the south, is there a chance things could kick off a bit earlier? At work early tomorrow but hoping to catch some of the livestreams later tonight.
  7. Had a covering here from the showers that have passed through. One appeared to stay to the south of me on radar but looked out and it was snowing - think the southerly wind direction tonight helped it make the last mile or so! Lamp post watching beat radar tonight It’s modelled to get across. A lot of rain events do this don’t they - ie appear to stall at the Pennines then eventually the whole lot gets across, although usually weaker here than over in the west.
  8. Still -2.5c here despite the radar suggesting the first batch of precipitation is approaching… suspect it will either fizzle out or we won’t see much at the surface. Edit: Yep, fizzling out.
  9. To be fair the area over Leeds at the moment that is currently intensifying and growing slightly is modelled on the UKV for the next few hours to move over East Yorkshire.
  10. UKV 15z snow depth chart for tomorrow morning. It thinks the Wolds will do best tonight which would be unusual for something coming from the west - I’d have put money on the Leeds/Huddersfield areas getting the biggest total.
  11. -1.6c the maximum today after a low of -5.9c overnight with some patchy snow cover remaining from earlier in the week. Models looking interesting for tonight, as is the current radar. I can see that Arpege is on board for some slight accumulations… in my opinion if Arpege says yes then it suggests somewhere is going to see lying snow. The only question now is where - ie bit further north or south? Down to nowcasting. I’m expecting the area over north Wales is going to intensify a bit so all of Yorkshire should be in with a chance
  12. Very windy here now and just over 30c - almost as odd as the hot breeze during the heatwave in July last year
  13. I live in Malton but work just over the other side of the moors. I’ve been caught in some really nasty storms in the past while up there.
  14. Right in the middle of all the various outlooks/warnings I’ve seen for today. Already a hot and sunny 26c
  15. Similar here. Need evaporative cooling and night time to have any chance. The best time for us in the east was always going to be after dark this evening, we might be luckier then as the low pulls away and wind direction changes.
  16. Temp rising here, up to 0.8c, and wind picking up too. Expecting some snow initially and then probably sleet until after dark tonight for my location. I’m sure those of you in South & West Yorkshire and the western half of N Yorks are going to have a grand day - enjoy!
  17. I guess it’s true as the text is for all of Yorkshire, including the coast, but yes - would have thought more of an emphasis on significant snow over high ground might be relevant!
  18. A few flakes in the breeze here now but really nothing much so far. Temp dropped by 1c in the last half hour, now 2.5c. Anyone over near Brid/Filey, looks like you’re getting a slightly heavier bit now, any good?
  19. -3.8c on my station (in town in Malton). I reckon we’ll see one or two of the rural frost hollows across the region get down into negative double digits by dawn.
  20. 18z Arpege is just rolling out and this is where we’re at so far… Not brilliant for us, want it to be a tad further north really
