More than 200 wildfires are currently burning in Canada 🔥

[National Weather Service @NWS]

Air quality has plummeted across much of the northeast as smoke from wildfires in Canada moves south. Poor air quality can be hazardous. Before spending time outdoors, check the air quality forecast. Make sure you aren’t doing yourself more harm than good. https://t.co/CVx9g8Hm1q

With the panhandle running at 231% of average rainfall over the past month, there's a lot more green on the landscape than there's been in a long time! This shot was taken from Beaver, OK today! #okwx #okmesonet

Is climate change having an impact on tornadoes like those that hit the state yesterday? https://t.co/ZthS2e9BCt #okwx #oklahomaweather

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

Kind of a geeky post, but here are some interesting items on the Norman tornado. The tornado came within about a mile of the office, before intensifying and producing a debris signature. Pressure trace from @okmesonet shows the pressure drop and rise. #okwx

We currently have $10,000.00 in funding available. Proposals are accepted on a first-come, first-served basis until the designated funds have been distributed. There is no minimum or maximum amount that can be requested.

Over 30 sites with severe winds (greater than 58 mph) last night. Highest was 86 mph at Fittstown. #okwx

[NWS Norman @NWSNorman]

We are going to survey several tornado tracks today. Try and avoid these areas as some road closures have been reported. We are also aware of other tornado tracks farther west which will also be invested. #okwx
