More severe weather on the way for western OK today

So far there's a line of stuff still in the TX panhandle, though not for much longer - moving pretty quick, will be in OK shortly.  The line had an inflow notch and some circulation just north of I-40, moving northeast, but is no longer tornado warned. Looks like two unconfirmed tornado reports from further WSW into the TX panhandle.

There are some discrete cells further south near Childress - as in, separate storms, some of which have or are attaining supercell shape - the pointy, more intense southwest end and the fan-shaped, more diffuse northeast end.  Tornadoes form at the southwest end.  A few of these are currently severe-warned with hail cores.  Discrete supercells are typically the source of the more dangerous tornadoes.  In the past 15 minutes, more discrete cells have popped up behind the line, further north around I-40.



Be safe.
