2024 - Severe Storms (T-Storms and Blizzards)

FWIW

Reed says here he is targeting the Enid area as of now, but the projections for this system aren't pretty anywhere in this OKC to ICT area.

He did also mention a stretch between Pratt and Wellington could be where they end up.

Compared this system to the one in 2011 that was quite active.

Historic analogs compare this setup most closely to the April 26,1991 outbreak. Things seem to be pointing towards that although the cloud cover could be the last thing stopping anything major from happening. If the clouds break by noon, things will get serious.

If I remember correctly with the 1991, it was similar conditions. Dreary all day and then the clouds broke late in the afternoon and storms exploded.

Ark City closing at 145
Circle closing at 2
Udall closing at 2
Valley Center closing at 130 for HS and MS. Elementaries at 230
Wichita has cancelled all after school activities.

I don't know where exactly Fairfield, Kiowa, Haviland, Lincoln or Macksville are, but they're all closing between 1 and 2 as well.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more. But guarantee every afternoon/evening activity is cancelled today.

KAKE will have a continuing list of updates I'm sure.

The Lincoln here is about 25 miles west of Salina and a bit north of I-70.

Correct it to "Current Level" and "Late Afternoon Level"

Any idea the timeframe for potential outbreak?

Like 4pm until ??

My office is releasing people now

[SB Shock]

PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) Tornado Watch is about to be issued for Oklahoma and SW/SC Kansas. I think Wichita will be in it.

They've postponed Coach B's radio show to tomorrow evening.

It was definitely dreary in the morning but the clouds broke late morning and it got warm, very warm.

Theres risk here and severe storms are still gonna happen but I think the big tornado potential is in Oklahoma where the clouds are breaking quicker.
