What we’ve seen and what we might
Following are comments from Mike Foster, Meteorologist In Charge at the National Weather Service Norman Forecast Office:
“We could be far from done. This first line of storms we’ve been watching have been sort of unremarkable storms, a little bit of hail mixed in here and there. We haven’t got any reports of wind damage or any reports of tornadoes. However, in north central Texas, north of the Metroplex and coming north toward the Red River, stronger storms, some with the potential to produce tornadoes, are developing and they will be moving into parts of south central Oklahoma over the next couple hours. So we’re watching those pretty carefully for developments of additional severe weather.
“In the meantime, the dryline is still in western Oklahoma and our recent thinking is there’s a fair potential for another line or another round of thunderstorms to develop back to the west of this first line.
“If that scenario were to happen there are some indications those thunderstorms could be more severe than the ones we’ve dealt with so far today.”
