I miss Joel. He and Reed made a great team.

I’ve looked at the models this morning, and it looks like the storms will probably fire early evening into the overnight hours. It’s all dependent on how fast that cold front moves through. There’s a slight chance of hail and the conditions could be right for a tornado or two.
3:40 PM I opted to stay in the Tulsa area today. May have been the wrong decision. The first tornado watch was issued for western and central Oklahoma earlier. If it actually moves to the east, it could be late evening into the overnight hours before anything substantial develops. Two
I’ve looked at the models this evening and it appears that a wide area of severe weather is likely for at least 5 states, including Oklahoma. Right now the area is so large, pin-pointing the target area most likely to produce storms worth chasing is nearly impossible. That task will
I usually get to chase one or two days in the fall. This week may just bring one of those opportunities. Storms are expected to develop in Western Oklahoma and the panhandle on Friday. There’s also rain chances overnight on Thursday with a chance of severe storms in the Tulsa
Sunday started off with thunderstorms, then a long wait, then a goodnight, then all hell broke loose
7:40 AM Early morning thunderstorms moved through Tulsa. I was actually awake looking at the weather models for today. They didn’t really turn severe until reaching Rogers County and remained strong to severe as they moved into northwest Arkansas. At my home in Tulsa, we had some thunder, lightning and
After a day of showers yesterday, it’s been a pretty nice day here in Oklahoma. Plenty of sunshine and warm temperatures. Thunderstorms are beginning to pop up in the far west end of the panhandle, and those counties remain under a severe thunderstorm watch until 11 pm this evening. Locally, we
5:41AM Reviewing the WX models this morning and it looks like a chase will likely happen today — if I can get out of the office early enough. Like yesterday, I think the majority of the storms will probably develop in the late afternoon and evening. Even with my “to-do” list at
7:48 AM The early models are in agreement that we’ll see some severe thunderstorms in N.E. Oklahoma. What’s not in agreement is timing and severity. Hopefully the data will be more conclusive later this morning. If I had to make the decision to chase or not now, I’d probably plan
7:00 am Good morning. I’m looking at the models and forecasts for today. Still looks like the I35 corridor is still the area, but the high risk area has shrunk a bit and moved a little farther north. Southcentral Nebraska is the highest risk area right now. But that could
