Oklahoma Storm Watch

 LIVE BLOG 3:10 PM CDT UPDATE - An area of agitated cumulus clouds is noted on satellite along the frontal boundary. Development will become increasingly likely over the next 1-2 hours along this boundary as well as near the surface to the northeast of the highlighted area. The SPC upgraded parts of Central Oklahoma to a Slight Risk with their 11:30 AM update and maintained it with their 3:00 PM update. The forecast seems to be on track... Archived Videos

 8:15 AM CDT | September 24, 2024 - I fully expect at least a couple Severe Storms late this afternoon and early this evening. The radar is quiet in terms of showers and thunderstorms this morning; however, there has been a lot of frequency pulsing over the last 10-12 hours. I have hand charted the signatures on the graphic below. Of course, they are still occurring with more expected over the course of the day. If you have been following this site, you know I am a believer in weather modification. The pulsing you see on radar is typically associated with charging the atmosphere through ionization. It sets the stage for thunderstorm development and intensification. The most active site has been Wichita which has been pulsing southward through Central Oklahoma and into North Texas almost nonstop for several hours. In the process, it helped storms fire in Texas during the pre-dawn hours which were not expected. No chemtrails were seen in the skies yesterday evening here in West Centr...

 7:00 PM CDT | September 23, 2024 - Looking at the setup forecast tomorrow afternoon, I believe that we could see a couple Strong to Severe Storms. A mid-level low will be digging into the region with a weak surface low developing in Western Oklahoma. This low and the associated cold front will be the focus for shower and storm development. Before I go further, let me say that, officially, the National Weather Service does not have any risk of Severe Weather for the state tomorrow. This is their statement with the latest outlook:   "...Western Oklahoma Vicinity... Some model guidance develops convection along the cold front and moves it southward through western Oklahoma. Moisture will likely be limited which will likely limit storm intensity if any form at all. Gusty winds and small hail could occur with strong northwesterly flow and cold temperatures aloft. Uncertainty is too high to introduce probabilities at this time." Obviously, my thoughts are different. The cold t...
