You know it’s out of control when the Meteorologist in Charge (MIC) has to beg and plead to spread the word The folks at NWS Norman (and all NWS Forecast offices) are trained professionals and are monitoring these situations extremely closely - they’ve got this Use those phones for actual reports

MRMS Rotation Tracks for the long-lived, cyclic tornadic supercell in northwest Oklahoma

Looks like the Fairview @mesonet.org station had a close encounter with the tornado - check out the rapid wind shift and the pressure drop on the meteogram #okwx

This tornado is occluding right around the Vance AFB radar (KVNX)

YouTube TV was made for this: multiview severe weather coverage in Oklahoma

For the very first time under the new conditional intensity outlooks from the Storm Prediction Center (which just started yesterday), we have visual intensity representations for all three hazards, including: tornado (first time), hail (second time), and wind (first time) And they’re for OK/TX/KS

It’s only fitting that the Southern Plains would be the first recipients of the brand-new conditional intensity outlooks from the Storm Prediction Center

Incredible high-resolution imagery from polar-orbiting satellites NOAA-20 VIIRS and NOAA-21 VIIRS of the wildfires that impacted the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles and into Kansas

Before and after photos of the Woodward Oklahoma Mesonet station that was impacted by the wildfire on February 17, 2026 (and melted some of the 2-m instrumentation) #okwx

The 2-m wind sensor at the Woodward Oklahoma Mesonet station melted yesterday as a result of a wildfire (and caused the 2-m temperature sensor to spike to 122°F) This radar image from KVNX at 4:30 PM shows a smoke plume emanating from the approximate area of the Woodward Mesonet station #okwx

Wildfires in the Oklahoma and Texas Panhandles are showing signs of subsiding, but the wildfire threat continues for the next two days for the same areas #okwx

Active wildfires (with Fire Warnings) ongoing in the panhandle of Oklahoma Wildfire conditions are critical to extreme for the next few days in Oklahoma with warm, windy, and dry conditions #okwx

You can travel from the NWS El Paso (TX/NM) CWA all the way to the NWS Caribou (ME) CWA and never leave a Winter Storm Warning

142+ million people are currently under a Winter Storm Warning stretching from New Mexico/Texas all the way to New England This Winter Storm Warning covers 2,213,250 square kilometers, which is larger than the February 2021 Winter Storm Warning (2,151,716 square kilometers)

83+ million people are currently under a Winter Storm Warning 145+ million people are currently under a Cold Weather Advisory 🥶

The EF-2 tornado in Purcell, Oklahoma on January 8, 2026 is the earliest January EF-2 on record in the State of Oklahoma and the first occurrence of a January EF-2 in the NWS Norman County Warning Area (CWA) in 53 years (January 18, 1973 F2 tornado near Seminole) #okwx

NWS Norman issued 5 Tornado Warnings this morning (January 8, 2026) - the most they’ve ever issued in the month of January This was the first time since 2020 (and third time overall) that they issued Tornado Warnings in the month of January (records back to 1986) #okwx

In 2025, March 4 was the date of the first occurrence of tornadoes in Oklahoma for the year Pending ongoing damage surveys, it’s likely that the first occurrence of tornadoes in Oklahoma for 2026 will be January 8 Severe weather season runs from January 1-December 31

Yesterday (January 3, 2026), NWS Eureka issued their first Tornado Warning in 8,419 days December 14, 2002 was the last time the office issued a Tornado Warning Based on available data back to 1986, these are the only two Tornado Warnings ever issued by NWS Eureka

The first tornado of 2026 goes to… Arizona! A landspout occurred yesterday afternoon near Three Points just west of Tucson

NWS Norman led the way with 1,159 severe thunderstorm warnings issued in 2025 (more than double the next closest office - NWS Midland/Odessa) and 184 tornado warnings issued in 2025 (next closest offices were NWS Memphis and NWS Paducah)

Without a doubt the most breathtaking and awe-inspiring imagery you’ve ever seen inside the eye of a hurricane (Video from TEAL76, a USAF Reserve Hurricane Hunter crew from the 53rd Weather Reconnaissance Squadron, during a pass through Hurricane Melissa)

The Copernicus Sentinel-2 polar-orbiting satellite made an extremely fortuitous pass over Hurricane Melissa right before it made landfall in Jamaica to provide these stunning images of one of the most powerful Atlantic hurricanes in history

Per the National Hurricane Center, Hurricane Melissa made landfall near New Hope, Jamaica with estimated maximum sustained winds of 185 mph and an estimated minimum central pressure of 892 mb

At a loss for words - about as textbook of a devastating Category 5 as you’ll ever see

What is truly remarkable is this dropsonde data is the measure along one specific fall path to create a composite of the storm structure and average wind profile - stronger winds could very likely be present within Melissa (notwithstanding the overall wind field as a whole)

Hurricane Melissa just eclipsed Hurricane Patricia (2015) for the highest ADT ever recorded (T8.5 intensity)
