[jrips27]

Feel like this severe window deserves its own thread. Multiple days of severe weather in the forecast.

High-end outbreak possible today in Kansas/Oklahoma with the threat shifting towards the southeast late Wednesday into Thursday

Well so far something seems to be lacking but I'm worried this is gonna blow up after dark like last weekend

Incredible supercell and TOG headed toward Barnsdall.

 

[Brent]

Tornado of the day easily

 

[Arcc]

Crap, Barnsdall just took a direct hit.

 

[Arcc]

My goodness.

 

[Brent]

Luckily it seemed to merge with the line right around Bartlesville which is much larger

 

[Brent]

Yeah Barnsdall sounds bad
