Summary

One day after an F4 tornado struck the southern Oklahoma City metropolitan area on May 8, 2003, a single supercell thunderstorm produced ten tornadoes in central Oklahoma, including one F3 and three F1 tornadoes in the northern Oklahoma City metropolitan area. This thunderstorm developed in southwest Oklahoma along a retreating dryline. The storm moved northeast across Oklahoma and eventually dissipated in northeastern Oklahoma. One of the tornadoes occurred in the NWS Tulsa forecast area near Depew, OK. Most of the tornadoes occurred after dark. Large hail and strong straight-line winds associated with the rear-flank downdraft also occurred with this tornadic supercell. Other severe thunderstorms produced damaging large hail and strong winds across portions of Oklahoma.

Fast Facts

  • Although it is very unusual for a city to be hit by tornadoes on consecutive days, it has happened at least once before the May 8-9, 2003 tornadoes in the Oklahoma City metro area. After tornadoes caused extensive damage to the Oklahoma City area on May 3, 1999, a weak tornado was observed near Lake Stanley Draper in southeast Oklahoma City on the morning of May 4, 1999.

  • Oklahoma City has been struck multiple times within seven-day periods including May 12-18, 1896, March 20-25, 1948, April 28-May 4, 1960, September 29-October 2, 1986, May 3-4, 1999, and May 8-9, 2003.

  • The May 9, 2003 OKC tornadoes occurred during a very active severe weather period in the United States during the first half of May 2003. More than a dozen tornadoes struck the U.S. each day from May 3-11, 2003.

Caddo-Canadian County Tornado Tracks

Summary

Tornado #1

This very brief tornado was caught on video by a storm chaser. It occurred in open country in Caddo County 2 miles north-northeast of Eakley, OK. No damage was reported.

Tornado #2

This brief F1 tornado began a quarter of a mile north of Highway 152 on NS267 Road in Caddo County then moved east for a mile dissipating a half a mile south of Highway 152 on NS268 Road. The tornado launched a pickup camper 150 yards, snapped large tree limbs, and blew a cotton silo 50 yards. The tornado crossed Highway 152 and damaged a mobile home. The roof was peeled away to the north and exterior walls were removed with insulation blown around. It was still sitting on cinder blocks and it could not be determined by the survey team whether it was tied down. The mobile home appeared to be abandoned. Large tree limbs were downed towards the end of the path.

Tornado #3

This tornado began near the intersection of EW115 Road and NS274 Road in Caddo County then traveled 1.2 miles dissipating just to the northeast of the location a quarter mile north of EW115 Road on the Caddo/Grady county line road (NS275 Road). A homestead was damaged with tree limbs snapped, stockade fence blown over, a camper trailer blown sideways, a trampoline lofted, and swing set blown over. This occurred shortly before the tornado crossed the county line quarter mile north of EW115 Road on NS275 Road. No significant damage was noted in Grady County. However, wheat swirls were seen just to the northeast of the location where the tornado crossed into Grady County.

Tornado #4

This brief tornado began 0.2 miles south of EW108 Road on Choctaw Road (NS283 Road) in Canadian County then moved east-northeast for half a mile before dissipating 0.6 miles west of Highway 81 on EW108 Road. A power pole was snapped, consistent with F1 damage, and two others blown over at the start of the path. Minor structural damage to a house was noted towards the end of the path.

Damage Path Map

May 9, 2003 Bethany, OK Tornado Track

Summary

This tornado began within the Bethany city limits and moved northeast before dissipating within Warr Acres city limits. This tornado which caused mostly F0 damage with pockets of high-end F1 damage tracked from near the intersection of Glade Avenue and Northwest 38th Street, across Northwest 50th Street and North Rockwell Avenue, and finally to Hammond Avenue and Northwest 59th Street. Most damage was in the F0 category to trees and roof shingles. Several pockets of F1 damage were noted embedded within the path, indicative of possible multiple-vortices. Most structures that received F1 damage were structures with susceptibilities to high wind. These included several churches, a self-storage facility, airport hangars at Wiley Post Airport, several warehouses, a few small homes, and several businesses. The tornado damaged approximately 70 airplanes and 40 hangers were damaged or destroyed at Wiley Post Airport. Many of the airplanes damaged were inside the hangers.

A man suffered fatal injuries (indirect) in Warr Acres. An eighty year old man from Woodward, Oklahoma was visiting relatives in Warr Acres. He injured his head as he was seeking shelter and died from his injuries two days later. The structure he was in was not affected by the storm.

Surrounding the multiple-vortex tornado that began 0.9 miles west-northwest of Bethany was a wider and much longer swath of straight-line wind damage from the rear-flank downdraft (RFD) with all damage blown from southwest to northeast. The RFD damage path began in Canadian County, 4.9 miles south-southwest of Yukon, and extended northeast until it ended near Lake Hefner. The swath of damage crossed the county line near Lake Overholser. The wind affected the south side of Lake Overholser including the south and east shoreline communities, then went across Woodlawn Park, surrounded the aforementioned tornado area, and finally dissipated northeast of Northwest Expressway and Meridian Avenue. Sporadic tree damage occurred during the last few miles of the path with more concentrated damage towards the beginning of the path in Oklahoma County. The RFD damage path was up to two miles wide at times.

Northeast OKC-Jones Tornado

This long track tornado began 0.25 miles northeast of the intersection of North Kelly Avenue and East Wilshire Boulevard, just northeast of the KWTV-9 TV station and near the WB-34 TV station...neither tall tower was toppled. As the tornado moved northeast to Interstate 35, the width of the damage consistently was a third of a mile wide, and the maximum damage was F1 with widespread tree damage, snapped power poles, and roof damage to a number of homes south of Britton Road.

The damage intensified to F2 on the west side of Interstate 35 where the roof was taken off of one wing of the Clara Waters Community Corrections Center. South of East Hefner Road and east of Interstate 35, an industrial building at a horse ranching operation sustained F3 damage. At that location, the steel frame, fastened to the concrete foundation with four one-inch diameter steel rods, was destroyed and steel reinforced concrete was pulled out of the ground. The tornado next produced F2 damage to the front portion of the Oakdale School at North Sooner Road and East Hefner Road. The Witcher Baptist Church, just south of the school, sustained F1 damage. East of Sooner Road and north of Hefner Road, the tornado weakened, producing F1 damage on the southeast side of the River Oaks Golf Club/Community.

South of Northeast 122nd Street, between North Air Depot Boulevard and North Midwest Boulevard, the tornado strengthened again and the path widened to over three-quarters of a mile wide as the tornado turned more to the northeast. South of Northeast 122nd, between Midwest Boulevard and Douglas Boulevard, significant damage occurred to homes and trees. One home was completely destroyed (F3), two homes were heavily damaged (F2), and a vehicle was tossed 25 yards.

The tornado turned to the southeast and damage weakened to F1 approximately 0.3 miles west of the intersection of North Post Road and Hefner Road. The tornado then turned back east-northeast causing a sheet metal hay barn to be completely blown down with hay intact. Several poles were downed towards the north, 0.25 miles west of the barn. Partial barn roof removal was found southwest of location in an open field.

Another area of F1 damage began 0.3 miles north of the intersection of North 108th Street and Westminster Boulevard. A metal roof was peeled off and several tree limbs downed in this location. The tornado intensified to F2 just shortly after this, downing high tension poles 0.5 miles north of the intersection of Anderson Road and 108th Street. A farm just to the west of this location had a roof missing. The roof slid off the garage to the east. Large barn on west side lost west end of roof with debris inside. Northeast wall section of barn was essentially undamaged. A house also had shingle damage and broken windows. To the north of the farm, trees were damaged and poles were snapped.

The tornado continued northeast causing the metal roof of a building, located 0.4 miles south of the intersection of Hiwassee Road and Memorial Road (North 136th Street), to peel off and be thrown 30 yards to the south. Tree damage was also found south of this location. A farm was damaged 0.8 miles south of the intersection. A barn was heavily damaged with debris thrown to the north. A pecan fork was also downed. There was also shingle damage just south of the barn.

The tornado then caused damage to an outbuilding at the corner of Northeast 122nd Street and Henney Road. In an area just west of the intersection of Choctaw Road and Memorial Road, the northwest part of the roof of a house located on Spruce Valley Drive was removed, along with removing the roof of a mobile home located on Cedar Bend Road. As the tornado continued northeast, it uprooted trees and downed tree limbs. Shortly before the tornado dissipated, a mobile home rolled off of cinder blocks, but was otherwise undamaged. The tornado did some more minor tree damage before dissipating.

The tornado first moved northeast causing a damage path which was located from 6.9 miles south of Edmond to 4.8 miles northwest of Jones. The tornado then turned southeast with a path from 4.8 miles northwest of Jones to 3.9 miles west-northwest of Jones. After the tornado turned back to the northeast, the path extended from 3.9 miles west-northwest of Jones to 2.8 miles south of Luther. The tornado traveled a total of 17.8 miles before dissipating.

Luther-Wellston Tornado

This tornado began in Oklahoma County, south of Luther, then moved northeast paralleling Interstate 44. The tornado moved into Lincoln County before dissipating 3.3 miles south-southwest of Wellston. The first area of damage found was located a half a mile south of the intersection of Luther Road and Memorial Road (Northeast 136th Street). The damage in this area was a tree and many tree limbs downed. A house was damaged a quarter of a mile west of the intersection of Memorial Road and Dobbs Road. The house lost a room on the second floor on the south side of the house. The poorly attached roof was also lifted and thrown over with one large section staying almost intact. A shed to the north of the house was damaged with three large limbs from a silver maple found in and near the shed. A trampoline was thrown into trees about 20 yards away and bent around a trunk. A large cedar tree was also broken.

The area along Dobbs Road from Memorial Road to approximately a half a mile north of Memorial Road sustained some damage. The majority of which was tree damage with many downed trees and tree limbs and several uprooted trees. An open shed, located 0.14 miles north of the intersection, had its roof peeled back towards the northeast. A mobile home also sustained some light damage in this same location. A small shed was found overturned 0.25 miles north of Memorial Road, along with sheet metal in field and a tree uprooted to the northwest of the small shed. An old mobile home, that appeared to be abandoned, was destroyed 0.3 miles north of the intersection. Across the road from the mobile home, a sheet metal barn lost its walls, but the hay was still intact. A trailer was also pushed over on to a truck in this area. A shed and scattered tree limbs were downed 0.3 miles south of the intersection of Harrah Road and Northeast 150th Street. A half mile east of Harrah Road a large tree limb, approximately one foot in diameter, was found snapped. On the county line, 0.15 miles north of the intersection of Pottawatomie Road and EW096 Road (NE 150th Street), several tree limbs were downed. This tornado created a path 7 miles long with F1 damage sustained in the area near the intersection of Dobbs Road and Memorial Road.

The tornado then moved northeast into Lincoln County before dissipating south-southwest of Wellston. The extent of the damage found in Lincoln County was determined to be of F0 damage. Many tree limbs were broken or snapped along the path. A section of fence was downed and a tree was broken in the area of NS331 Road north of EW095 Road. Sheet metal was found in the trees along with broken limbs located north of EW095 Road and west of Highway 102. A power ole was found bent with broken tree limbs found in the fence line, north of EW095 on Highway 102 just before the tornado dissipated. The tornado had an entire path length of 7 miles, of which 3.6 miles were in Lincoln County.

Davenport-Stroud Tornado Track

Summary

Davenport-Stroud Tornado

This tornado began just south-southwest of Davenport and moved northeast through southeastern portions of town. The tornado continued northeast entering the Stroud city limits southwest of downtown before dissipating within town, east of downtown. The tornado began northwest of the intersection of Santa Fe Avenue and EW091 Road. Shortly after touching down, the tornado peeled the southwest side of a barn roof. The tornado entered the Davenport city limits causing minor tree damage. A metal roof was slightly peeled just north of the intersection of Broadway and Frisco Street.

The tornado continued across southern and eastern portions of town downing tree limbs and breaking a few windows. On the east edge of Davenport, the left field light standards of the baseball field were blown over and a referee box behind home plate had blown north-northwestward about 30 feet and broken apart. The right field light standards appeared intact. The only notable damage in town was on the eastern edge (to the southwest of the baseball field) where a sturdy wood-frame car port was apparently lifted and then collapsed on the owner's SUV. Minor damage to shingles and siding continued as the tornado moved northeast towards Stroud. The first area of damage of note within Stroud occurred north of West Elm Street approximately 0.4 miles west of Highway 377. Numerous tree limbs and small decorative trees were downed along with sections of privacy fences blown over and shingle damage to several homes.

As the tornado continued northeast, one of two areas of F1 damage was found near the center of town. A home just southwest of the corner of South 9th Avenue and West Oak Street had a missing roof. The home sustained the heaviest roof damage in the southwest corner where all ceiling joists were missing. The ceiling/roof section was found upside down about 100 feet northeast of the house with the ceiling fan still attached but badly damaged. The east half of the small house still had a ceiling. A car port on the north side of the house was still attached but showed cracks indicating it may have shifted. A small home behind this house had a portion of its roof and siding peeled off. Other nearby damage occurred just west of Highway 377, halfway between West Joe Street and West Hillcrest Street. An engineered metal storage building had the southeast corner of roof and east wall blown out with the south wall caved in.

other area of F1 damage began along the railroad tracks on North First Street just east of South 4th Avenue where an open metal storage structure collapsed. More damage was noted at a building behind the fire station (located just north of the railroad tracks and just east of North 3rd Avenue). The south-facing cinder block wall of this building fell outward. About half of the roofing material, including tar paper, was missing from this roof. Vehicle windows were also broken in this location. The remainder of damage in town was light, typified by shingles missing, large tree limbs downed, garage doors damaged, windows broken, and fences downed. The track appeared to end somewhat abruptly at the east edge of town, where a food storage facility and another industrial building did not appear to have much damage. In Stroud, seventy homes were damaged with six rendered uninhabitable. Nine businesses were also damaged.

A WEAK NEARLY STATIONARY FRONT ACROSS NORTHERN OKLAHOMA AND A
DRYLINE JUST WEST OF OKLAHOMA CITY TO WICHITA FALLS WILL MOVE RATHER
LITTLE THROUGH THE DAY. A FEW STORMS WILL PROBABLY CONTINUE TO BE
SCATTERED ACROSS WESTERN NORTH TEXAS THROUGH THE EARLY AFTERNOON.
MORE STORMS SHOULD DEVELOP LATE THIS AFTERNOON... AND COULD BE
ALMOST ANYWHERE WITHIN OUR FORECAST AREA. THE POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE
STORMS IS QUITE HIGH AGAIN TODAY. FOR DETAILS... SEE OUR HAZARDOUS
WEATHER OUTLOOK.

MODEL GUIDANCE GENERALLY SUPPORTS THE GOING FORECAST. AVN MOS HIGHS
ARE A FEW DEGREES LOWER THAN OUR NUMBERS. SINCE THE OBSERVED HIGHS
YESTERDAY WERE A FEW DEGREES WARMER THAN GUIDANCE... THERE SEEMS TO
BE NO REASON YET TO ADJUST OUR TEMPERATURES. OTHER PARAMETERS IN
THE ZFP LOOK OKAY... ALTHOUGH DETAILS ARE BEING ADJUSTED IN THE
GRIDS. THIS WILL ONLY AFFECT THE AFM AND PERHAPS THE FWF... WHICH
WILL BE UPDATED SOON. THE ZFP WILL BE UPDATED TOWARD NOON TO DEAL
WITH TEMPORAL WORDING.

LATE THIS MORNING SATELLITE IMAGERY AND RADIOSONDE DATA INDICATED A
SMALL-SCALE UPPER TROUGH MOVING NORTHEAST ACROSS SOUTHWEST TEXAS.
THIS FEATURE...ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASE IN MID-LEVEL WIND
SPEED...IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TOWARD SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA THROUGH THE
AFTERNOON. THIS WILL ENHANCE VERTICAL WIND SHEAR FAVORABLE FOR
SEVERE STORMS LATER TODAY.

AT THE SURFACE...A DRYLINE WAS NEARLY STATIONARY FROM WEST OF
ABILENE TO FREDERICK AND TO YUKON. A STATIONARY FRONT EXTENDED FROM
PONCA CITY TO EL RENO TO CHEYENNE. EARLY THIS AFTERNOON THE FRONT IS
EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTH TOWARD THE KANSAS BORDER AS A SURFACE LOW
PRESSURE CENTER FORMS IN SOUTHEAST COLORADO. THIS WILL ALLOW THE
DRYLINE TO MOVE WEST INTO WEST CENTRAL AND PART OF NORTHWEST
OKLAHOMA. WHEN THE DRYLINE BEGINS TO MOVE EAST LATER THIS AFTERNOON
IT IS EXPECTED TO BE POSITIONED FARTHER WEST THAN IT WAS YESTERDAY.

OTHER THAN A FEW STORMS IN NORTH TEXAS THIS MORNING...NEW STORMS ARE
EXPECTED TO FORM NEAR THE DRYLINE IN SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA OR WESTERN
NORTH TEXAS AROUND MID AFTERNOON. STORMS THAT DO FORM WOULD BECOME
QUICKLY SEVERE IN THE HIGHLY UNSTABLE ATMOSPHERE. THE
INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE WIND SHEAR WILL RAISE THE PROBABILITY OF
TORNADIC STORMS.

HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE NORMAN OK
1200 PM CDT FRI MAY 9 2003

THIS HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK COVERS NORTHERN...WESTERN...
CENTRAL...AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA...AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

.DAY ONE...THIS AFTERNOON AND TONIGHT...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS THROUGH TONIGHT
ACROSS MOST OF OKLAHOMA. A SLIGHT RISK AREA SURROUNDS THE MODERATE
RISK AND AFFECTS MUCH OF FAR WESTERN AND SOUTHERN OKLAHOMA... AND
WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

LOCATION...
THE MODERATE RISK AREA IS EAST OF A LINE FROM ALVA TO ALTUS... AND
NORTH OF A LINE FROM ALTUS TO ARDMORE TO COALGATE. THE SLIGHT RISK
AREA INCLUDES THE REST OF OKLAHOMA... AND WESTERN NORTH TEXAS.

TIMING...
ISOLATED SEVERE STORMS WILL BE POSSIBLE EARLY THIS AFTERNOON IN
EXTREME SOUTHWEST OKLAHOMA AND ADJACENT PARTS OF TEXAS. MORE-
SIGNIFICANT STORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP BY LATE AFTERNOON AND
CONTINUE WELL INTO THE NIGHT.

IMPACTS...
SOME OF THE THUNDERSTORMS WILL BE CAPABLE OF PRODUCING HAIL TO THE
SIZE OF BASEBALLS. WIND GUSTS TO 75 MPH AND TORNADOES WILL ALSO BE
POSSIBLE. SIGNIFICANT STRUCTURAL DAMAGE WILL BE POSSIBLE IN THE
STRONGEST STORMS.

RECOMMENDED ACTIONS...
STORM SPOTTER GROUPS AND EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PERSONNEL ACROSS THE
RISK AREA SHOULD BE PREPARED FOR SEVERE WEATHER OPERATIONS THIS
AFTERNOON THROUGH LATE TONIGHT.

DISCUSSION...
THE MAIN SURFACE FEATURE IS A DRYLINE THAT EXTENDED FROM NEAR ENID
OKLAHOMA TO NEAR VERNON TEXAS LATE THIS MORNING. THE DRYLINE IS
FORECAST TO DRIFT FARTHER WEST DURING THE AFTERNOON... PROBABLY
EXTENDING FROM NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA TO NEAR CHILDRESS BY LATE
AFTERNOON. A MID-LEVEL WAVE OVER SOUTHWEST TEXAS THIS MORNING WILL
ADVANCE TO THE NORTHEAST THIS AFTERNOON... AND WILL LIKELY PROVIDE
ADDITIONAL LIFT IN THE VICINITY OF THE DRYLINE. STORMS ARE EXPECTED
TO BECOME MORE NUMEROUS AND INCREASE IN INTENSITY DURING THE MID- TO
LATE-AFTERNOON HOURS AS THESE FEATURES COME TOGETHER. A CONTINUING
FEED OF LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE OVER THE RISK AREAS... ALONG WITH
FAVORABLE WIND PROFILES... WILL LIKELY SUSTAIN THE STORMS INTO THE
NIGHT.

PROBABILITY TABLE...
VALID THROUGH 700 AM CDT SATURDAY MAY 10.
PROBABILITY OF THUNDERSTORMS OCCURRING IN THE
NWS NORMAN COUNTY WARNING AREA...100 PERCENT.
PROBABILITY OF SEVERE STORMS...NEAR 100 PERCENT.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE.

.DAYS TWO THROUGH SEVEN...SATURDAY THROUGH THURSDAY...

THUNDERSTORM OUTLOOK...
THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE SATURDAY AND THEN EACH DAY FROM MONDAY
THROUGH THURSDAY. THE DAYS WITH THE GREATEST RISK OF SEVERE STORMS
WILL BE NEXT TUESDAY AND WEDNESDAY ACROSS THE ENTIRE AREA.

OTHER HAZARDOUS WEATHER...
NONE.

THE NEXT SCHEDULED HAZARDOUS WEATHER OUTLOOK WILL BE ISSUED AT 7 AM

ACROSS SOUTHWEST TEXAS. THIS FEATURE...ASSOCIATED WITH AN INCREASE
IN MID-LEVEL WIND SPEED...IS EXPECTED TO MOVE TOWARD SOUTHWEST
OKLAHOMA THIS AFTERNOON AND EVENING. THIS WILL ENHANCE VERTICAL WIND
SHEAR FAVORABLE FOR SEVERE STORMS LATER TODAY.

THE AREA OF GREATEST SURFACE-BASED INSTABILITY AT NOON EXTENDED FROM
NEAR ARDMORE TO NEAR STILLWATER. ALTHOUGH SOME MINOR SURFACE
CONVERGENCE WAS NOTED JUST WEST OF THIS AREA... IT DOES NOT YET
APPEAR TO BE SUFFICIENT TO OVERCOME THE SLOWLY WEAKENING CAP. THIS
IS LIKELY TO CHANGE DURING THE AFTERNOON AS SURFACE HEATING FURTHER
WEAKENS THE CAP AND THE UPPER TROUGH APPROACHES.

TO THE WEST... A DRYLINE FROM CENTRAL OKLAHOMA INTO WESTERN NORTH
TEXAS... AND A WEAK FRONT OVER NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA... WILL BOTH DRIFT
NORTHWEST DURING THE AFTERNOON. CONVERGENCE ALONG THESE BOUNDARIES
WILL CONTINUE TO GENERATE SCATTERED STORMS DESPITE THE MORE STABLE
ATMOSPHERIC CONDITIONS IN THOSE AREAS.

CONDITIONS ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME INCREASINGLY FAVORABLE FOR
SUPERCELL THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT AS THE DAY PROGRESSES. STORMS
THAT DEVELOP DURING THE MID TO LATE AFTERNOON WILL HAVE THE
POTENTIAL TO BECOME SEVERE VERY QUICKLY... AND SOME MAY PRODUCE
TORNADOES.

WELL DEFINED S/W TROF EVIDENT IN 12Z UA DATA OVER NEW MEXICO APPEARS
TO BE AMPLIFYING PER BAND 10 WV IMAGERY FROM RAMSDIS OVER FAR WTEX
ATTM. PRESSURE FALLS ARE NOW INCREASING OVER NW OK..AND SFC WINDS
HAVE BACKED 40-60 DEGREES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF HRS OVR SW OK. AS
OF YET..SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE HAS NOT WORKED BACK
NWWD..BUT EXPECT SIGNIFICANT AIRMASS DESTABILIZATION DURING THE NEXT

BACK/INCREASE. FIRST ATTEMPT AT SUSTAINED BL BASED CONVECTION
APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED FOR THE MOMENT TO THE WEST OF KABI..BUT
INCREASING LOW LEVEL VERTICAL VELOCITIES IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
RAPID SVR STORM DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER CONCERN FOR
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THIS
EVENING ON THE HI PLAINS AND THEN SPREAD EAST/SOUTEAST ALONG AND
NORTH OF WARM FRONTAL ZONE THAT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME BETTER DEFINED
ACROSS NRN OK OR SRN KS.

SFC LOW WILL MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST OF OKLAHOMA RATHER QUICKLY ON
SATURDAY..AND SHUD RESULT IN VEERING LOW LEVEL FLOW. ALTHOUGH
MOISTURE MAY BE SOMEWHAT SLOW TO MIX OUT IN THE SE ZONES..POTENTIAL
FOR STORM INITIATION APPEARS TO BE LIMITED WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF OUR
CWA. DEEP MOISTURE SHUD FINALLY GET PUSHED SWD INTO TEXAS IN WAKE
OF THIS SYSTEM..GIVING A 36-48 HR BREAK IN THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.
HOWEVER..MOISTURE MAY BEGIN TO LEAK BACK NWD ENUF LATE MONDAY TO
ALLOW FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT OVR NW/W TEXAS.

LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS THAT A PERIOD OF WNW FLOW
ALOFT MAY BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE CENT/SRN PLAINS MID WEEK IN
WAKE OF STRONG GREAT LAKES SYSTEM..AND BEFORE WEST COAST TROF
RELOADS BY LATE IN THE WEEK. CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL INCREASE
TUE/WED AS INSTABILITY AXIS BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED ONCE AGAIN A BIT
FARTHER NORTH BENEATH AXIS OF STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW. IF NRLY
COMPONENT TO MID LEVEL FLOW DOES DEVELOP..PATTERN WILL BECOME
FAVORABLE FOR FORWARD PROPAGATING SVR MCS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE HI
PLAINS SEWD INTO THE SRN PLAINS.

WICHITA FALLS TO NEAR BENJAMIN. A FEW TOWERING CUMULUS CLOUDS WERE
EVIDENT ON SATELLITE IMAGERY ALONG THE BOUNDARY. AS MORE LOW-LEVEL

PUBLIC INFORMATION STATEMENT
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE WFO NORMAN OK
355 PM CDT FRI MAY 9 2003

...PRELIMINARY DAMAGE SURVEY RESULTS FROM THURSDAY'S TORNADO IN THE
MOORE AREA...

DAMAGE FROM THE TORNADO THAT STRUCK PARTS OF OKLAHOMA CITY AND MOORE
LATE THURSDAY AFTERNOON HAS BEEN SURVEYED BY THE NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE IN NORMAN. TWO DAMAGE SURVEY TEAMS WERE DISPATCHED EARLY
THIS MORNING. THIS PRELIMINARY REPORT COVERS THAT PART OF THE DAMAGE
TRACK IN CLEVELAND COUNTY...FROM SOUTH OKLAHOMA CITY NORTHEAST
THROUGH MOORE TO 89TH STREET. MAXIMUM DAMAGE INTENSITY IN THIS
SEGMENT OF THE DAMAGE TRACK WAS RATED F3...WITH A MAXIMUM WIDTH OF
1/4 MILE.

SPORADIC MINOR DAMAGE...MOSTLY IN THE FORM OF UPROOTED SHRUBS AND
BROKEN TREE BRANCHES...WAS FIRST OBSERVED IN SOUTH OKLAHOMA CITY IN
THE AREA OF BLACKWELDER AVENUE BETWEEN SW 149TH AND SW 134TH STREET.
THIS DAMAGE CONTINUED NORTHEAST ACROSS SW 134TH STREET /ALSO S 4TH
IN MOORE...AND HIGHWAY 37/ BETWEEN WESTERN AND SANTA FE. SEVERAL
HIGH-PROFILE POWER LINES WERE DOWNED ALONG THIS STRETCH OF 134TH
STREET. MINOR INTERMITTENT DAMAGE CONTINUED INTO RESIDENTIAL AREAS
JUST NORTHWEST OF 134TH AND SANTA FE...WITH STRUCTURAL DAMAGE
LIMITED MOSTLY TO DOWNED STOCKADE FENCES AND MINOR ROOF DAMAGE.

THE SURVEY TEAM CONCLUDED THAT DAMAGE UP TO THIS POINT WAS NOT
TORNADIC. IT MORE LIKELY WAS THE RESULT OF A PHENOMENON KNOWN AS A
REAR FLANK DOWNDRAFT...STRONG GENERALLY STRAIGHT LINE WINDS
RESULTING FROM A CONCENTRATED DOWNDRAFT OF AIR WHICH OCCURS ON THE
BACK SIDE OF A DEVELOPING STORM-SCALE CIRCULATION /OR MESOCYCLONE/.
RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT THE REAR FLANK DOWNDRAFT OFTEN PLAYS A VITAL
ROLE IN THE FORMATION OF TORNADOES WITHIN A MESOCYCLONE.

IN THIS CASE...THE DAMAGE SURVEY ALSO SUGGESTS THIS.

TORNADIC DAMAGE BEGAN ALMOST PRECISELY AT THE INTERSECTION OF N 5TH
STREET AND SANTA FE IN MOORE...NEAR THE CHURCH OF LATTER DAY SAINTS.
THE TORNADO INITIALLY WAS QUITE NARROW BUT STRENGTHENED QUICKLY AS
IT MOVED EAST ALONG 5TH STREET...ACHIEVING F3 INTENSITY BRIEFLY
JUST EAST OF SANTA FE.

THE TORNADO THEN WIDENED AND TURNED NORTHEAST AS IT MOVED THROUGH
NORTHWEST MOORE...GENERALLY ALONG AND JUST NORTH OF 5TH STREET. IT
WIDENED TO APPROXIMATELY 1/4 MILE WIDE FROM MARKWELL AVE
NORTHEASTWARD...BUT FOR MOST OF THIS SEGMENT MAXIMUM DAMAGE WAS
RATED F2. THE NUMBER OF HOMES DESTROYED OR HEAVILY DAMAGED IS
DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE PRECISELY...BUT IS ESTIMATED TO BE BETWEEN
100 AND 200.

THE TORNADO INTENSIFIED TO F3 INTENSITY AGAIN SHORTLY AFTER CROSSING
JANEWAY AVENUE JUST SOUTH OF 12TH STREET. IT CROSSED 12TH STREET
BETWEEN JANEWAY AND INTERSTATE 35...CAUSING LOCAL F3 DAMAGE IN THE
CENTER OF THE 1/4 MILE-WIDE DAMAGE TRACK.

THE MOST SIGNIFICANT DAMAGE IN MOORE OCCURRED NORTH OF 12TH STREET
AND WEST OF I-35...WHERE SEVERAL BUSINESSES WERE COMPLETELY
DESTROYED. DAMAGE IN THIS AREA WAS RATED STRONG F3...BASED ON THE
EXTENT OF SEVERE DAMAGE TO TWO HOTELS...THE FIRST CHRISTIAN
CHURCH...THE YOUNG CHILD DEVELOPMENT CENTER...A HEADSTART
PROGRAM BUILDING...SEVERAL RESTAURANTS... AND AN OFFICE BUILDING.
THE CHURCH...CHILD CARE CENTER...AND OFFICE BUILDING WERE LEVELED.

CROSSING I-35 BETWEEN 12TH STREET AND THE I-35 SHIELDS
JUNCTION...THE TORNADO APPEARED TO WEAKEN WHILE CONTINUING
NORTHEAST. SPORADIC F2 DAMAGE WAS FOUND FROM BROADWAY AVENUE
NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE SOUTHEAST PART OF THE HIGHLAND PARK ADDITION.
THIS SUBDIVISION ALSO WAS DAMAGED SEVERELY BY THE MAY 3RD 1999
TORNADO...BUT DAMAGE THIS TIME OCCURRED ABOUT TWO BLOCKS FARTHER
SOUTH.

THE TORNADO CONTINUED NORTHEAST ACROSS NE 27TH STREET NEAR AND JUST
EAST OF POLE ROAD...CROSSING MOSTLY OPEN AREA AROUND EASTERN AVENUE
AND THE LAKESIDE GOLF COURSE. DAMAGE IN THIS AREA WAS RATED
F1...MAINLY DUE TO THE RELATIVE LACK OF MAN-MADE STRUCTURES. BUT AS
THE TORNADO CONTINUED NORTHEAST TOWARD SE 89TH STREET IT CLIPPED A
RESIDENTIAL AREA JUST WEST OF 89TH AND BRYANT...CAUSING F2 DAMAGE IN
THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE AREA.

IT IS WORTH NOTING THAT THE DAMAGE TRACK BETWEEN NE 27TH IN
MOORE...AND SE 89TH IN OKLAHOMA CITY...COINCIDES EXACTLY AND
PRECISELY WITH THE DAMAGE TRACK FROM THE MAY 3RD 1999 TORNADO. IN
FACT...THE MAY 3RD TORNADO ALSO STRUCK THE LAKESIDE GOLF COURSE
DIRECTLY...AND THE NORTHWEST PART OF THE RESIDENTIAL AREA JUST WEST
OF 89TH AND BRYANT.

FINAL NUMBERS ON THIS TORNADO...INCLUDING TOTAL PATH LENGTH...
OVERALL MAXIMUM WIDTH...AND F-SCALE...WILL BE DETERMINED ONCE DAMAGE
SURVEY RESULTS FROM OKLAHOMA COUNTY ARE EXAMINED. A SUMMARY OF
DAMAGE FROM THAT PART OF THE TRACK WILL BE ISSUED LATER THIS
AFTERNOON.

147 PM CDT FRI MAY 9 2003

WELL DEFINED S/W TROF EVIDENT IN 12Z UA DATA OVER NEW MEXICO APPEARS
TO BE AMPLIFYING PER BAND 10 WV IMAGERY FROM RAMSDIS OVER FAR WTEX
ATTM. PRESSURE FALLS ARE NOW INCREASING OVER NW OK..AND SFC WINDS
HAVE BACKED 40-60 DEGREES IN THE PAST COUPLE OF HRS OVR SW OK. AS
OF YET..SIGNIFICANT BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE HAS NOT WORKED BACK
NWWD..BUT EXPECT SIGNIFICANT AIRMASS DESTABILIZATION DURING THE NEXT
SEVERAL HOURS OVER MUCH OF SW OK/NW TX AS WINDS CONT TO
BACK/INCREASE. FIRST ATTEMPT AT SUSTAINED BL BASED CONVECTION
APPEARS TO HAVE FAILED FOR THE MOMENT TO THE WEST OF KABI..BUT
INCREASING LOW LEVEL VERTICAL VELOCITIES IS EXPECTED TO RESULT IN
RAPID SVR STORM DEVELOPMENT LATE THIS AFTERNOON. OTHER CONCERN FOR
THE OVERNIGHT HOURS IS THE POTENTIAL FOR CONVECTION TO DEVELOP THIS
EVENING ON THE HI PLAINS AND THEN SPREAD EAST/SOUTEAST ALONG AND
NORTH OF WARM FRONTAL ZONE THAT IS EXPECTED TO BECOME BETTER DEFINED
ACROSS NRN OK OR SRN KS.

SFC LOW WILL MOVE TO THE NORTHEAST OF OKLAHOMA RATHER QUICKLY ON
SATURDAY..AND SHUD RESULT IN VEERING LOW LEVEL FLOW. ALTHOUGH
MOISTURE MAY BE SOMEWHAT SLOW TO MIX OUT IN THE SE ZONES..POTENTIAL
FOR STORM INITIATION APPEARS TO BE LIMITED WITHIN THE BOUNDS OF OUR
CWA. DEEP MOISTURE SHUD FINALLY GET PUSHED SWD INTO TEXAS IN WAKE
OF THIS SYSTEM..GIVING A 36-48 HR BREAK IN THUNDERSTORM CHANCES.
HOWEVER..MOISTURE MAY BEGIN TO LEAK BACK NWD ENUF LATE MONDAY TO
ALLOW FOR STORM DEVELOPMENT OVR NW/W TEXAS.

LATEST MEDIUM RANGE MODEL GUIDANCE HINTS THAT A PERIOD OF WNW FLOW
ALOFT MAY BECOME ESTABLISHED OVER THE CENT/SRN PLAINS MID WEEK IN
WAKE OF STRONG GREAT LAKES SYSTEM..AND BEFORE WEST COAST TROF
RELOADS BY LATE IN THE WEEK. CHANCES FOR STORMS WILL INCREASE
TUE/WED AS INSTABILITY AXIS BECOMES RE-ESTABLISHED ONCE AGAIN A BIT
FARTHER NORTH BENEATH AXIS OF STRONGER MID LEVEL FLOW. IF NRLY
COMPONENT TO MID LEVEL FLOW DOES DEVELOP..PATTERN WILL BECOME
FAVORABLE FOR FORWARD PROPAGATING SVR MCS DEVELOPMENT FROM THE HI
PLAINS SEWD INTO THE SRN PLAINS.
