You can easily see the multiple vortices probably thanks to the color of the dirt it picked up. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R_ZDVYzIhgc WOW!!!!!

It looks really bad in Greenfield; several fatalities have been confirmed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
voltwaffle Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Storms going up in Central OK. Can't get a real good look but one approaching El Reno looks like it might try to do something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowlover2 Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 Weekend is looking interesting. Quote Day 4-8 Convective Outlook NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK 0356 AM CDT Wed May 22 2024 Valid 251200Z - 301200Z ...DISCUSSION... ...Day 4/Sat - Central/Southern Plains to Mid-MS Valley... An upper shortwave trough over AZ/NM is forecast to spread eastward across the central/southern Plains to the Ozarks vicinity on Saturday. As this occurs, southwesterly mid/upper flow will increase. Height falls will induce surface cyclogenesis over western KS and the OK/TX Panhandles during the daytime. In response, a warm front will lift northward across central/eastern OK/KS and much of the Mid-MS Valley. A surface dryline will extend south from the surface low near the OK/TX border through evening. During the nighttime hours, the surface low is forecast to develop east/northeast into MO while a cold front overspreads parts of the central/southern Plains by Sunday morning. A very moist and unstable airmass will develop over the region as the warm front lifts north, allowing for strong destabilization. As large-scale ascent and vertical shear increase during the afternoon/evening, widespread thunderstorm development is expected. Initial supercells appear possible near the dryline and surface low over OK/KS. With time, an MCS may develop over part of the region and spread east into AR/MO during the evening/overnight hours. All severe hazards appear possible at this time, and higher probabilities may be needed in subsequent outlooks as mesoscale features become better resolved for highlighting any corridors of greater severe risk within the broader region. ...Day 5/Sun - Ozarks to the Mid-MS/Lower OH/TN Valleys... A synoptically concerning pattern is evident on Sunday across a broad region of the central U.S. The upper trough from the Day 4/Sat period will continue to shift east across the Midwest on Sunday. This will allow strong mid/upper southwesterly flow to overspread the region as a deepening surface low moves from MO toward Lake Michigan. Strong to severe thunderstorms may be ongoing across parts of MO/the Ozarks vicinity. Ahead of this activity, a rapidly moistening boundary layer with upper 60s to low 70s F dewpoints is expected to envelop much of the Mid-MS/OH/TN Valleys. Strong destabilization and favorable vertical shear, along with an eastward-progressing cold front will support both supercell storms, and possibly a developing QLCS, capable of all hazards. While details regarding morning convection and storm mode remain somewhat uncertain, higher-end severe potential appears possible with this pattern across portions of the region from midday into the nighttime hours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meteorologist Ingyball Posted May 22 Meteorologist Share Posted May 22 I was in bed for most of the action yesterday, but yeah that tornado, yeesh. Today could be interesting in North Texas. RRFS shows outflow racing down this morning. If this constructively interferes with supercells, it could provide the low level shear necessary for a small-scale tornado outbreak. Not to dissimilar from 04/03/2012. The OFB could also race down and cut everything off before they get going. Tricky forecast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 I'm usually very cautious when speculating about tornado ratings, but various radar data and available damage pics (not as good as actually being on scene, obviously) really point toward the Greenfield tornado being at least EF-4. I think the main question is whether it's EF-4 or EF-5. There's been reluctance to give out EF-5 ratings in recent years despite some candidates for that, so I'm not going to bet on that.
