Elevated to a high risk over central Oklahoma

The SPC has elevated the risk for Central to a High Risk, now warning that there is a 30% chance of EF2 or greater tornadoes within 25 miles of the points included in the outlined area. 

 

NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER IN NORMAN OK IS FORECASTING THE DEVELOPMENT OF A FEW STRONG TORNADOES OVER PARTS OF OKLAHOMA LATER THIS AFTERNOON AND EARLY TONIGHT. SUPERCELLS WILL BE LIKELY WITH TORNADOES...VERY LARGE HAIL AND DAMAGING WIND GUSTS.  A FEW OF THE TORNADOES MAY BE STRONG

 

I would expect a PDS(Particularly Dangerous Situation) Tornado Watch soon.  The very hard part of this is that the target is over a highly populated metropolitan area.  If tornadoes form, they are more likely to have an impact on lives and property.
