Severe Weather Threat - May 6, 2024

I don't have an account on birdsite, but I can imagine there's already a fair amount of bust-posting going on over there...

Nope

"The possibility exists for regenerative supercell development over central Oklahoma this evening."
...I'm sorry?

Based on what?

 

[Clancy]

Already getting fairly ripe.

“Regenerative supercell development” = training cells?

Cyclical… same cell producing several tornadoes over and over and over

Thanks

Nope

Huh. I guess the twitter weenies are for once holding off until the event actually begins...

Based on what?

Based on the fact that I would never expect people on twitter to actually act reasonable...

Can’t one reasonably argue that the northern portion of the 30%, over S KS/N OK, has high bust-potential due to linear forcing?

Large to giant hail, up to 4 inch in diameter. Never seen hail close to that size personally

There isn't linear forcing there until much, much later, and even then I'm still not sure.

On this site too…

One can argue as such without screeching in all caps and misspelling nearly every word they type...

But anyhow, back on topic.

Whatever does or doesn’t have or has bust potential won’t matter till after the event is done with.

From OUN: Something interesting to note on storm mode: HRRR/RAP bulk shear vectors (0-6km) are predominantly perpendicular to the dryline into the evening for areas generally along/south of I-40 with vectors more parallel across northern Oklahoma. This would favor more of a linear storm mode up north and discrete mode across central.

That’s consistent with what the CAMs have shown and what the SPC discussions have predicted.

Didn’t take long for the b word to be used, but anyways back to reality.

 

[KevinH]

Does anyone know of a OKC TV station that streams their feed online?

 

[MichelleH]

And here we go. Let's not call anything a bust until the actual event is OVER, all right? The worst part of this potential outbreak isn't even supposed to be until later tonight. STOP IT.

Several do, but the answer depends on whether or not you want to know when it’s May 3rd all over again.
