The Norman OK sounding data from an hour ago indicated a MU-CAPE (a measure of atmospheric instability) of 3540 J/kg. You can’t predict an EF5, especially not using CAPE, but anything over 3,500 means it’s in the cards.This could be the moment we might see the first EF-5 Tornado of the decade. The forecast seems pretty promising for these kinds of tornadoes. If not even a massive outbreak.
As much as I like tornadoes I hope that these super cells end up like incels and don't spawn anything around highly populated areas.Low-level jet is ramping up quickly across Oklahoma. Storms are firing further south than forecasted/expected which is very concerning and puts the OKC metro in danger.
Supercells are now quickly increasing their rotation and can drop strong tornadoes at any moment now.
Get ready.
As much as a storm chaser loves light shows and photogenic tornadoes. They often admit the most heartbreaking part of this is going through to damage the tornado leaves behind because these moments give them that harsh reality of all of this. The last thing they ever wished to see is people devastated by the storm because yes, it's very heartbreaking.As much as I like tornadoes I hope that these super cells end up like incels and don't spawn anything around highly populated areas.
Usually an indication of a strong tornado.The Okeene tornado is reported by chasers to be multivortex.
IIRC, isn't that typically an indication of a monster?

Confirmed tornado in Oklahoma. Seems to be very strong, possibly violent.
Bartlesville and Dewey are potentially fucked too. We'll see if they core those places or not. Praying to those in Barnsdall amongst the other places that nobody gets hurt.View attachment 5967689
TORNADO EMERGENCY. THE TORNADO HAS CORED BARNSDALL DIRECTLY.
The hook echos I've seen tonight have been insane.View attachment 5967689

For me, apocalyptic tornado damage starts at no standing stick frame or masonry walls and trees with no intact limbs smaller than 8-12"That's pretty apocalyptic.
Altus area has had very high CAPE all day. Until an hour ago no storms had formed west of Lawton to eat into that CAPE. If they remain discrete supercells, that high risk bubble from the this morning will be 100% warranted.Also I just saw a map with CAPE of 4000J/Kg in southwest Oklahoma. If you're around Altus, get below ground and pepper your angus.
