After mulling it over, I think I'm comfortable adding a zone Thursday where – conditionally – the atmosphere could support an EF3 (intense) tornado.
That's predicated on one or more supercell structures emerging within a broader batch of thunderstorms, which remains uncertain.
We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.
A powerful tornado was seen spinning near Vance Air Force Base in Oklahoma, forcing it to close on Thursday. Video shows the massive size of the twister as it moved across Enid, a city of about 50,000 people in Garfield County near the state's northern border.
The tornado ripped roofs off buildings and knocked down power poles. There were no immediate reports of fatalities and only minor injuries hours after the tornado passed through, according to the Garfield County Sheriff's Office. https://t.co/IZA1RRq4z9

At this time, the National Weather Service has issued a Particularly Dangerous Situation (PDS) Tornado Warning for northern Oklahoma. A confirmed, life-threatening tornado is on the ground, with reports of twin tornadoes actively causing damage near Braman, Oklahoma. This is an extremely rare and serious designation, indicating a high risk of catastrophic destruction. Authorities warn that this is a large and extremely dangerous tornado capable of devastating impacts. If you are in the affected area, TAKE SHELTER IMMEDIATELY. Move to a basement or an interior room on the lowest floor of a sturdy building, away from windows. This is a rapidly evolving and highly dangerous situation.
With colder air in place yest. & today, some locations picked up snow and even sleet or ice pellets which get counted as snow (both D.C. and Dulles AP in VA reported a trace of sleet today). So, we thought we would dust this chart off & update it. Snow season runs thru June 30th!
The tornado from March 31st and the one last night touched down less than 1.5 miles apart! No injuries or fatalities with both incidents. If you live in Machias, it might be time to buy a lottery ticket. #nywx@news4buffalo
There is a 5% tornado risk for today in Central New York from near Rochester to the eastern edge of the Adirondack Mountains. HRRR soundings show surface based CAPE values in excess of 2000 with weak to moderate wind shear. The main uncertainty will be storm mode/location #nywx
Scattered severe thunderstorms are possible this afternoon over New York into southern Vermont with damaging gusts and perhaps a tornado or two the primary threats.
