Short, backyard chase yesterday around the Lubbock area. Thanks to Steve Miller of Amarillo for the heads up, as I was working my side job yesterday and not expecting much after the models downplayed everything.
I have posted the full chase report on my website, with a few more images as well!
Another potent day on tap for most of Western OK and down in to parts of North Central Texas as a dryline will move to along the eastern TX Panhandle/OK state line, and a warm from is lifting north across Oklahoma.
The warm front is currently situated along the I40 corridor with what we call a triple point (where the warm front intersects the dryline) currently in the vicinity of Wheeler County, TX.
The northward extent of severe weather will be tempered by the eventual location of the warm front by mid-late afternoon, but even farther south along the dryline, isolated monster supercells capable of extreme size hail larger than baseballs, strong tornadoes and damaging winds will still be possible. Storms following the warm front in particular should be especially dangerous!
Today has the potential to be yet another tornado outbreak for much of Oklahoma and even parts of North Central Texas. Everyone have your weather radios on today and pay attention to local media sources. Storms will be moving much slower today than they did during the last outbreak on Monday, which means you may have more lead time on warnings, but this unfortunately also means that giant hail and tornadoes will have more time over a given area to do more damage.
I’ll be heading out the door shortly for far western Oklahoma, and will be streaming LIVE this afternoon on the LIVE ChaseCam, with AUDIO!
