TN on the ground on the Hinton cell..

Hinton storm topping out over 60K. Not convinced on that tornado report, though I'm not there so can't say with any certainty.

 

He wasn't 100% sure.. May have been a very weak one..

[samadamsuk]

These cells are firing with rotation inherent. Several already indicating low level rotation.

This is a big event evolving here chaps.

Yes its looking pretty ripe. The hope for OKC is that cells are interfering/disorganised as they move through - primed for some significant long track tornadoes right now -

More cells will fire south along the DL - these are the big threat for OKC

[robt]

Looks like the cell is trying to get organised...

[samadamsuk]

I think that cell south of Alden might be posing a problem in a while -

[robt]

More rotation reported on the Geary/Hinton storm..

[nsrobins]

Hinton storm gate to gate mid-levels and a right turner. This really needs watching with respect OKC.

Friday night and I am planning my trip to Mick's Berger van around 3 or 4 am! What happened to going to Mick's after a night of clubbing? Oh well watching storms in the states is just as exciting!

They're definitely showing concern on the 9 News stream. Saying there may have been a tornado briefly touch down SE of Geary.

Latest visible satellite images showing growing activity just North of Wichita Falls

Unless another cell forms south of Binger, I think this'll consolidate now, with the energy transferring to the south and a swing right - Agree there this needs watching for OKC!

Thats a slightly massive supercell..

[robt]

Bloody hell, thats a wall cloud and a half.

[robt]

Not far off. Just said an inflow notch appears to be forming straight over I-40.

Multiple Vortices on the ground near Kingfisher on the north end of the cell.

[samadamsuk]

tn on the ground! That was odd - its almost as if instead of absorbing that cell, it turned it directly into a meso -

[samadamsuk]

maybe not - maybe it was just forming, and getting rain wrapped with the gunk from that merger -

[Adi F]
