CENTRAL AND EASTERN OKLAHOMA.
LOCATION…
THE SLIGHT RISK AREA IS EAST OF A LINE FROM SEMINOLE… TO DAVIS…
TO ARDMORE AND MARIETTA.
TIMING…
THE MOST LIKELY TIME FOR SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE THIS
AFTERNOON… POSSIBLY INTO THIS EVENING.
IMPACTS…
DAMAGING WIND GUSTS TO 70 MPH AND ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL BE THE
PRIMARY CONCERNS. HAIL TO THE SIZE OF QUARTERS WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE WITH THE STRONGER STORMS.
RECOMMENDED ACTIONS…
STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ACROSS THE
RISK AREA SHOULD PLAN FOR CONTINUING SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS
THROUGH EARLY EVENING.

THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE THIS AFTERNOON ALONG A STRONG COLD FRONT

AND THE ASSOCIATED LINE OF STRONG THUNDERSTORMS… WILL MOVE SLOWLY
EAST AND WILL BE ACROSS FAR SOUTHEASTERN OKLAHOMA BY MID EVENING.
WEAK TO MODERATE INSTABILITY AND VERY STRONG LOW AND MID-LEVEL WIND
SHEAR WILL SUPPORT A FEW ROTATING STORMS WITH DAMAGING WINDS AND

LONG AS THE LINE OF STORMS REMAINS SOLID… BUT IF THE LINE BREAKS
UP INTO SEVERAL SEGMENTS OR A SERIES OF DISCRETE STORMS… THE
TORNADO RISK WILL INCREASE. ISOLATED THUNDERSTORMS ALSO MAY FORM OUT
AHEAD OF THE LINE… AND THESE STORMS ALSO WILL BE IN AN ENVIRONMENT
FAVORABLE FOR ROTATION AND THEREFORE COULD PRODUCE ISOLATED
TORNADOES.
