A SEVERE THREAT WILL LIKELY DEVELOP ACROSS NRN OK AND SRN KS LATE

It looks like the supercells have finally separated enough to finally go tornadic in W. Oklahoma.

That storm NE of Abilene looked pretty impressive, but now it seems to be dying out? What's gives? Of course I am all for the storms not being bad but what could be causing it? Could the cap be holding on?

One looks to be building right along I20 East of Abliene.....................

Storm chasers on the Blaine-Dewey-Major-Woods County storm in OK are reporting a large tornado (estimated 1/2 mile wide) on the ground at 20:26Z. Severe Weather Statement just came out with that as well:

EASTERN CANTON LAKE...MOVING NORTHEAST AT 35 MPH. THIS TORNADO IS
MOVING TOWARD THE LONGDALE AREA. TAKE COVER IMMEDIATELY IF YOU LIVE

Storms really beginning to fire along the dry line from SW Oklahoma towards Abilene. Long, rough evening coming up in Oklahoma and Texas I'm afraid...
