Been out of country for a while, but Marla and I are hearing our Oklahoma is considering to “locking the clock” on Daylight Saving Time? Folks if clock is to be locked, it must be on Standrd Time. Winter would be too unsafe for our kiddos on Daylight Time. Feel free! bump this!

Barnsdall Tornado from yesterday. The high temperature in Barnsdall just before the tornado hit was 77 degrees, and that is exact same high temperature as OKC Metro. The difference was the low level wind shear was not quite there for Central OK. compared to Barnsdall area.

The weather pattern right now over the Southern Plains of North America is a bit like when your Mother-in-Law says she is coming down for an extended stay, but she won’t tell you exactly when, or for how long. All she says is that she is bringing egg nog for the holidays.

Now that will get your attention! A "non-severe" supercell produces a weak, but ominous funnel cloud centered 1.5 miles NW of downtown Edmond very close to Kelly-Danforth April 1st, 2024. Never a warning on this small but inflow unimpeded SUP as it crossed West-North OKC!

My VERY latest TORNADO RISK Monday, May 20th, 2019 based on latest data as of 9PM Sunday. I believe the risk for Tornadoes is HIGH in Red shaded area with multiple/numerous SUPERCELLS, possible tornado outbreak. I will have more at 10PM.

So thankful on this Good Friday! I got “the call” literally one minute before live 6:45pm Thursday weathercast. I just got “I was in wreck, mostly OK, standing in middle of Penn/ Memorial”. Had to hang up since live TV doesn’t wait. UGH!! Here she is as I arrived. All are OK 🙏🙏
Certainly example of one of very most significant December supercell tornadoes in history of December tornadoes. Tornado path may or may not be interrupted for over 250 miles, hitting Monett, AR. one hour earlier with multiple fatalities.
