MAY 19, 2024 OKLAHOMA: JAW DROPPING STORM STRUCTURE

in

Storm already taking on terrific structure shortly after initial development near Roll, Oklahoma.

Rotating storm intensifying and starting to spark like crazy! Ingesting plenty of warm, moist air with continuous condensing scud underneath the base.

Supercell inching closer and right at us as we wait patiently in the same spot.

Interesting lowering in the middle right in the main action area as a large, ragged wall cloud develops with fast inflow air from right to left as noted by the inflow scud cloud on the right side of the base.

Had to move and keep up with the supercell still exhibiting great structure somewhere around Anthon or Custer City, Oklahoma.

Wow. Just awesome structure as this storm continues to churn away and move slowly to the east-southeast.

Wall cloud to our north that we are watching for any tornado development. It was rotating and right in the inflow notch on the northeast side of the storm base. Certainly in the right spot!

Really starting to look interesting here with a funnel like feature on the wall cloud as it tightens up to our north.

This is the storm that just does not quit. What a structure-fest!

After sunset, we decided to stop near Bridgeport, Oklahoma to watch the spectacle and let the tour guests enjoy the moment.

One last shot of this beautiful storm. It did go on to produce a couple nighttime tornadoes after we left the storm. We typically will not chase tornadic storms during the night due to safety.
