Developing mesoscale convective system in north-central Oklahoma

Lightning strikes as a storm develops in north-central Oklahoma

Quincy Vagell @stormchaserq.bsky.social · 04/07/2026

Storm mode in northern Oklahoma later today may get messy, but a few supercells and possibly a tornado or two could occur. This threat may be maximized early in the convective cycle, but also with any storms that favorably interact with an outflow boundary in northeastern Oklahoma

A few photos from last night’s storm chase in the Texas panhandle. Very thankful that @pezmanwx.bsky.social and Jen Grand were gracious enough to help me out with transportation. I am OK and back on the road today!

Tornado warned supercell, earlier, near Rich Hill, MO. This storm, like others in west-central Missouri, showed some low-level rotation, but could not quite produce a tornado.

Everyone who follows me on Twitter needs to report my account and recent posts. I’ve been hacked. First the hacker started sending malicious DMs, but now they are flat out impersonating me. It is very upsetting. Support is not taking any of my reports seriously.

One year ago today, I chased this tornado near Kit Carson, CO. It had one of the more unique rope out phases I’ve witnessed.

This was one of the most unique vantage points I’ve had of a tornado, in Beltrami Island State Forest last night. I watched this storm produce a few intermittent tornadoes in the secluded woods of northern Minnesota.

Alternate photos of the supercell that produced a few intermittent tornadoes between Grygla and Malcolm, MN. Between 7:21 and 7:34 PM. Found myself on a questionable road, standing on my car roof to see over the treeline. Got a car full of bugs too, but worth it! @NWSGrandForks

Earlier tornado and supercell structure in western Beltrami County, MN. This was at 7:34 pm in the woody marshlands, looking NW from near Malcolm, MN.

Big win for the eastern target storm chasers yesterday. Many factors/variables can make or break a storm chase. Risk tolerance, timing, logistics, personal biases, model preference, etc. Sometimes you’re right for the right reasons, wrong for the wrong reasons or anything in between.

Will be monitoring an effective warm front/modifying outflow boundary across northwestern Oklahoma today for possible storm development. CAMs have verified too aggressive thus far with northward progress.

Followed this grungy, tornado-warned supercell on the east side of the OKC metro area this afternoon. It never fully wrapped up, but had some gnarly structure. Near Harrah, OK:
