The storm over Osage county heading toward Pawhuska has some organization to it, but that should stay to your North.<br /><br />If anything tornado-wise were to happen this evening (and I'm not saying it will) in your area, I'd say it would be of the variety that you could "ride out" in your center of the house storm closet.<br /><br />The stuff out West is remaining isolated / more widely spaced at this time but I still suspect that it will congeal into a larger complex of storms by the time it arrives in your area.<br /><br />We'll know a lot more about how things are trending for this evening by about 7 o'clock.<br /><br />As far as the watch expiration times, they are usually for 6-8 hour intervals and since they can be easily cancelled and/or replaced anytime during the valid time, I wouldn't worry too much about that specific ending time.Rob Whitehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06951148913701306704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684151770662764217.post-69787855340845653492011-05-23T18:02:48.868-05:002011-05-23T18:02:48.868-05:00Just replying to myself to subscribe to comments v...Just replying to myself to subscribe to comments via email.

Ugh. So far the storms along the line have been to the east of us. Is it naive to hope that continues? Also, the tornado watch goes until midnight, but clearly the storms to the west will be past us by then. Is there really a threat of storms along that boundary until midnight? Or is midnight just a conservative expiration time and the main threat will really end earlier? sorry for all the questions. We're still at home trying to decide what to do and the whole watch and wait thing makes me nervous.The Planet Pinkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03742334196908870709noreply@blogger.com
