June 16th, 2008 Southwest Oklahoma Supercells
Last Updated on Monday, 04 January 2010 18:40 Written by Roger Hill
I wasn't expecting what I caught on June 16th. Southwest Oklahoma lit up like a Christmas tree as HP supercells graced the landscape, many tornado warned. Good moisture, instability and decent shear, albeit fairly weak in the low levels, was present this day. A north/south boundary would be the firing grounds for storms. We intercepted 3 tornado warned storms, with one likely tornado occurring northwest of Hobart, Oklahoma. The Hobart storm was one of my favorites for the year! Click on the pic for a larger image. Enjoy!!

Hobart, Oklahoma supercell as we approached it. Tornado warned for good reason! |
Possible tornado. Strong rotation was seen and it sure looks like a cone here. |
A few minutes later as the storm's structure only gets better. |
