A third tornado outbreak will occur on Monday over pretty much the same areas that got slammed on Sunday. I have a new diary up with all the details at this link.
I'll continue updating this liveblog diary throughout the day. Updates will be posted below. General information can be found below the orange squiggle.
I'm also posting some of the more urgent updates to Facebook.
UPDATE 20: Dangerous rain-wrapped (completely obscured by rain) tornado moving through Okfuskee County into Creek County, Oklahoma.
UPDATE 19: News 9 helicopter showed many cars completely demolished after seeking shelter under an overpass on an interstate. NEVER SEEK SHELTER UNDER A OVERPASS. Wind accelerates under bridges.
UPDATE 18: "Major, extensive damage" from the tornado southeast of Oklahoma City near Shawnee along I-40.
Also, heads up Kansas City. The supercells have merged and formed a bow echo, moving east through eastern Kansas and into Missouri. The main threat here is 60+ MPH winds.
UPDATE 17: Half-mile wide tornado approaching north Shawnee OK along Interstate 40. KFOR keeps saying it's going to make a direct hit on the popular Shawnee Mall. Shawnee has a population of 30,000.
UPDATE 16: Large, violent tornado approaching Shawnee OK and the Shawnee Mall.
UPDATE 15: KFOR showing major damage to homes near Wellston OK. The helicopter pilot had to quickly move the camera off of damage due to injuries.
UPDATE 14: Tornado warning for Norman OK.
UPDATE 13: Mile-wide wedge tornado tearing through Carney, OK right now, population 649.
UPDATE 12: The mile-wide tornado approaching Carney OK just has an amazing radar presence. Textbook tornadic supercell.
UPDATE 11: Mile-wide tornado approaching Carney OK in Lincoln County.
UPDATE 10: Wellston OK is dangerously close to this very large, wedge tornado in Lincoln County OK. Over half a mile wide and growing.
UPDATE 9: Large, violent tornado on the ground in Luther, Oklahoma in Lincoln County, northeast of OKC. Not much of a condensation funnel but the tornado winds take up almost the whole width of the closed captioning.
UPDATE 8: Storm chaser Reed Timmer on KFOR just reported his intercept vehicle reported a 175 MPH wind when they drove into the tornado, which would make the Edmund tornado an EF-4.
UPDATE 7: Helicopter footage from KFOR-TV in OKC of a funnel cloud over I-35 in Edmund OK. This storm is cycling -- producing a tornado, lifts, produces another tornado, it lifts, etc. This is a dangerous storm.
UPDATE 6: Very large, confirmed tornado very near Edmund OK. The Weather Channel has live helicopter footage from KFOR.
UPDATE 5: Wichita is in the clear for now.
Here's a 3D volumetric radar display of the massive hail core in the thunderstorm that has moved northeast away from Wichita. Hail larger than golf balls is possible.
UPDATE 4:The rotation in Wichita has weakened somewhat, but the storm has a history of producing a large tornado.
UPDATE 3: From the NWS:
"A CONFIRMED LARGE AND EXTREMELY DANGEROUS TORNADO WAS LOCATED 7 MILES NORTHWEST OF HAYSVILLE MOVING NORTHEAST AT 30 MPH.
A LARGE WEDGE TORNADO WAS REPORTED ON THE GROUND 6 MILES NORTH OF CLEARWATER.
THIS IS A LIFE THREATENING SITUATION. MOBILE HOMES WILL BE DESTROYED. CONSIDERABLE DAMAGE TO HOMES, BUSINESSES, AND VEHICLES IS LIKELY AND COMPLETE DESTRUCTION POSSIBLE. FLYING DEBRIS WILL BE DEADLY TO PEOPLE AND ANIMALS. EXPECT TREES TO BE UPROOTED OR SNAPPED."
UPDATE 2: The tornado is clearly visible on radar. It's going to come very close to Wichita, if not right through the city.
UPDATE 1: Confirmed tornado producing damage about to enter downtown Wichita, KS:
A significant severe weather outbreak is unfolding across the Central Plains today, with several violent, long-lived tornadoes expected, along with hail up to the size of baseballs, as well as thunderstorm winds in excess of 70 MPH.
Tornado watches are currently in effect for the areas shaded in red.
