Storms have begun the initiation process along the dryline in western and northwestern OK as the pacific cold front has begun overtaking the dryline. This is occurring a bit sooner than CAMs had predicted, which may mean ETAs closer to 12-1 AM for the OKC metro.

The Storm Prediction Center has maintained a Slight risk (level 2/5) for severe weather across portions of OK today (Monday). The 5% tor risk was slightly expanded to the north and east to include more areas along I-35 in OK. Storms already reaching severe limits as they approach NW TX. #okwx #txwx

Was late getting to the party so I wasn’t able to get closer to this storm until later, but it was still quite a beast from a distance! Didn’t realize it at the time but a tor was ongoing at the bottom of this picture.

This week in my Dynamics I class, we learned how to plot data from the NAM using python. While the plot below isn’t perfect, this has been such a fun experience. It’s awesome getting to learn these practical skills and it makes me want to learn even more!

A slightly concerning trend with scattered storms developing near central OK and a line a storms expected later… #okwx

Last night was pretty neat, especially for October! #okwx

I can’t remember the last time I saw this color of green over Oklahoma on this graphic. #okwx

This led me down a short rabbit hole and I just realized that Twister: Fury on the Plains and Twisters! Nature’s Fury were two separate series that used a bunch of the same footage and were both directed by Thomas Grazulis.. I loved Twisters! so much, I’m surprised I never realized this hahaha

I can’t wait until we have not blue skies here lol. We’re going on nearly 4 weeks without meaningful rainfall and I fear it’s not going to get any better as we go into winter😭

That’s the stuff

Absolutely loving all of the growth today in #WxSky and beyond. To celebrate, I figured I’d post some of my favorite pictures I’ve gotten in the past couple of years!
