Probably not over either. Just saw this tweet from James Spann:

"‏@spann: STP (significant tornado parameter) running at 12 over parts of West OK."



Silver lining may be the 5h wind fields is going meridional (south to north/ne) which usually signals squall line vs as many supercells


True, those western most storms are definitely linear in nature. Still a chance for tornadoes though, although more isolated in nature than what we've seen tonight.

I don't think that one had that many, partly because I was unavailable for the event and on the road then.

Tornado still reported to be visible E/NE of El Dorado.

This is one unbelievable supercell. It has had a large, violent tornado on the ground almost continually for what now - neraly two hours or more - since it was being observed near Cherokee, Okla.

Amazing change in dewpoint. Starting to line up with the new storms as you mentioned.

Major tornado outbreak verified. Strong to violent tornadoes possible well into the overnight hours so now we enter that special time that is uncommon for tornado outbreaks to "perform" but tonight is an exception. The squall line forming to the south even has a bunch of rotation markers, could be interesting.

Yeah, the STP in western Oklahoma was 12 a short while ago as per James Spann. Probably not over just yet.
