Am I still on JuB or did I switch to my Stormtrack tab?

Yes, another outbreak is forecast for tomorrow - although the magnitude isn't supposed to be as strong as today's. We'll see what the SPC thinks about the newest model returns, although I'm skeptical if they'll upgrade part of the moderate risk to high for Wednesday.

Some of the spotternetwork reports earlier described debarked trees and "two story homes swept away", from a few credible chasers. Potential EF5 damage in some places in Oklahoma earlier today, I guess we'll find out sometime late week once Norman finishes the surveys. Indeed we've had an unprecedented season this year...that would bring it up to a total of 5 EF-5 storms this year (Joplin was upgraded around 6PM CST today). Quite a stark comparison to the lull from 2000-2007.

North Texas Radar...

Tornado continues near Springtown in northeastern Parker Co. City of Denton and southeastern half of Denton County needs to be taking precautions right now.

All 3 of these storms - the one, NW of Fort Worth, the one just southwest of Lake Texoma, and the one in southern OK between Durant and Ardmore - all 3 of these storms are Tornado Warned.

Am I still on JuB or did I switch to my Stormtrack tab?

Thanks for the laugh, bro. I do appreciate it. Whenever I have the free time to be on JUB, as a service to who ever may be out there, I watch the weather and provide updates - I never know who I may help that wouldn't have known they were in serious danger otherwise.

I'm also wanting to go to college to study weather forecasting.

Norman has got their work cut out for them. Here we are, in late May, and look at the tornados we've already seen. That begs the question, what does the rest of the year hold?

Stay safe out there, friends.
