Weather has its own rulebook. Know the calls!

🟨 Watch = Get ready. Dangerous weather is possible.

🟥 Warning = Take action now! Dangerous weather is happening.

Knowing the difference can save your life.

Were you in or near a tornado recently?

If so we'd love to have participate in a quick survey. The info you provide could help researchers and forecasters improve the information we provide before and during severe weather. Here's the survey link: https://t.co/u8X1DBWkSs

Our CIWRO Summer Student Colloquium is in full swing this week. Tuesday is Radar Day with lots to learn at the Radar Innovations Laboratory. Back at the National Weather Center, the students took a break to chill with Leilani the therapy dog.

A lot of us will be outdoors a lot this Memorial Day Weekend, so remember: Thunderstorms can produce deadly lightning strikes up to 10 miles away. When Thunder Roars, Go Indoors! https://t.co/KCtcJO1NSz

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

With outdoor activities going on tonight, how long do we have until we see storms? Aside from a low chance for pop-up storms (5-10% chance), we should remain clear through at least 7pm (west OK/west north TX) to 10pm (central OK) before tonight's line comes through. #okwx

[Oklahoma Mesonet @okmesonet]

Drought is expected to persist through the climatological summer despite any short-term relief we receive through May. Say it ain't so! More deets in today's Ticker. https://t.co/S0zmtLHmwU #okwx #okmesonet

Meteorologists and engineers achieved a🙌research milestone🙌when phased array radar was used in operations for the first time ever to help @NWSNorman forecasters warn of an EF-2 tornado that hit Caney, OK, on April 28. Read the full story: https://t.co/YzDnu4q2yV

4 capstone students from @ENGINEERINGatOU's School of Aerospace and Mechanical Engineering, mentored by CIWRO, successfully developed a precision landing system for the CopterSonde. Great job, Hudson Brooks, Jesse Hodgson, Sarah Kemppainen and Brady Owens! https://t.co/1bMWbHDFrP

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

Tornado Warning including Grandfield OK and Loveland OK until 7:15 PM CDT

[National Weather Ctr @NWCNorman]

Members of the @lukecombs stage crew stopped by to receive an updated forecast ahead of tomorrow's show at @UofOklahoma . Collaboration like this helps keep weather readiness at the center of live event operations.

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

Today, one of our meteorologists is retiring after 31 years of federal service. Since March of 1999, Bruce has been at NWS Norman, after a start in San Antonio. Lots of weather and forecasts behind him, but now a well deserved retirement awaits him. Well done, Bruce.

[NOAA Satellites @NOAASatellites]

As a large #tornado tore through Garfield County, Oklahoma, yesterday evening, @NOAA's #GOESEast tracked the parent #supercell thunderstorm as it grew explosively. The tornado prompted a rare #TornadoEmergency from @NWSNorman. #EnidTornado #OKwx

Help the NWS — become a CoCoRaHS volunteer!

The only requirements are an enthusiasm for watching and reporting weather conditions and a desire to learn more about how weather can affect and impact our lives.

And if you join in April, you’ll be a part of Rain Gauge Rally month, an annual contest to see which state can recruit the most new volunteers!

Celebrating our planet & the dynamic systems from atmospheric rivers above to the flowing rivers below, & everything in between.
It’s this interconnected system that drives the work we do every day.
Happy Earth Day from the NWC!

[Oklahoma Mesonet @okmesonet]

Wouldn't it be crazy if the first week of May was colder than the last week of February? No, it'd be Oklahoma! https://t.co/S0zmtLHmwU #okwx #okmesonet
