Friday's Weather

Friday Severe Weather Update:::

Current model analysis, along with SPC data confirms my current thinking. SVR WX will occur in a corridor from Altus-Watonga-Enid-Wichita. This should occur from 2-4pm on into the evening, possible overnight...

IMPACTS: Large hail to Baseballs, heavy rain, strong straight line winds, tornadoes (some strong).

Timing: 2-4 pm till 2AM

Once storms initiate, they will go severe and rotate very quickly. Any storm that forms has the potential to be a tornado producer. Storms that form to the SW can and may move into the OKC Metro area.

REACT Action Statement:::React members should plan for SVR WX operations and level alert status this afternoon, with spotter operations this evening into late evening. At this time, President Chris Toner and Chairman Keith Sossamon have been apprised of the situation. If you plan to spot or be available for spotting...Please send email to the team and for times available for today and Saturday...

11AM WX Briefing at EOC (Keith’s Church) on Saturday Morning.

Also Multi-County Fire Corps Members will be placed on ALERT for this activity today, and we may be asked to assist with their operations.

At this time, the models aren’t real clear for Saturday. Even though we do expect a severe weather outbreak, it still is not clear where exactly the moderate risk and high risk area will be….too early to tell. Even the meteorologists aren’t for sure. We will know more with the weather models in the morning.
