SW OK Tornadic Supercell
First, I forgot to mention the nice little SDS session Kanani Foster and Jay McCoy attended last Thursday. I got to see their incredible video from March 28th. It was among some of the most mesmerizing footage I've seen. It was fantastic!!
I wasn't paying too much attention to the possibilities today, but lo and behold, Oklahoma submits it's first serious 2007 application as a member of the "Federation Of Tornado Alley States" today. ;-) A very impressive and dangerous tornadic supercell transversed the areas just north of Duncan and Lawton and along State Hwy 7 and 29. This thing was at one time cranking a couplet in excess of 100mph with a real vicious looking hook ~0000z.
With W/WNW flow aloft, a pronounced jet nose, CAPE 500-1000j/kg, SE surface flow, and warm front, the parameteers ended up being pretty darned good for a cell like this.
Here are a few radar grabs (click to get full image):
2347z
2347z SRV-1
0008z
0000z SRV-1

Nice hook. I was ignoring the plains yesterday... had my sites on Southern Florida. Looks like a nice supercell.
