Here's more video of tonight's Madill, OK tornado RIGHT as it formed. This is a prime example of how quickly tornadoes can become violent! (Video courtesy: Matthew Anderson)

Folks in El Reno had about 2-3 minutes of warning, which is NO fault of the NWS. QLCS line tornadoes form VERY quickly, and while damage is significant, this is a rare tornado as most line-tornadoes are weak!

Just being honest with you...Monday looks quite scary weatherwise. Please use this Sunday to make a severe weather plan with your family! Strong, possible long track tornadoes are possible. Here's the latest timing!

Here's another shot of the large tornado just north of Custer City, OK from Chris McBee. As of 9:55PM, the tornado threat is very low, however winds of 70 to 80 will be common with this line of storms heading toward OKC.

My grandma gave me this gift, its always in my wallet, and very near me on storm chase days. She always reminded me to never drive faster than my guardian angel can fly.
JUST IN: OKC will not be running the noon siren test tomorrow (Saturday) due to the threat of severe weather and so many outdoor activities planned.

HEADS UP Tue late aftn and eve, especially in N, NW, and W OK. Numerous storms will form between 4P and 7P and move VERY slowly E and SE. Large hail & damaging winds are the main threats, a brief tornado cannot be ruled out! Pictured is future radar..

. What a true professional, state legend, and incredibly down to earth professional!
Ever wonder what one of the blinky lights on a TV antenna look like up close? Wonder no more! Originally powered by two 650 watt light bulbs, this fixture warned pilots to avoid our tower for 50 years!

8PM Sunday - While we see a few flakes tonight, a much more vigorous system arrives Fri into Sat. These numbers WILL change and move around as we get closer, but just know that there is a good shot of seeing some impressive totals next weekend!

Its the 5 year anniversary of the sudden passing of my first coanchor Jeannie. One Christmas, she gave me this tie, and every time there's weather here, you'll see it. It's a reminder, to use my skill to do the very best I can to be kind and keep all of God's creatures safe.
HEADS UP!! Accumulating snow is looking more likely Tuesday evening into Wednesday morning. Stay tuned as we refine these forecast totals!!
