Let’s get ready to rock and roll with one more round of strong/severe storms across much of the state. This system will be a bit different. It’s a fast mover and we don’t anticipate the flooding issues we had with the system Wednesday. Expect a more traditional squall-line. A line of thunderstorms entering the state [...]

Severe weather threat still looks marginal Wednesday. But, we will have to watch the system very closely for any surprises. That was a marginal setup that created the EF2 tornado in Western Oklahoma Monday. I think this map showcases the best overlap of instability and shear.
