The potential for heavy snow at higher elevations in the western U.S. will continue for many spots through the weekend. In the meantime, the eastern half of the continental U.S. will transition to above normal temperatures ahead of a pair of cold fronts next week that will bring readings back to closer to normal as we approach Thanksgiving Day.

A severe weather outbreak impacted portions of western Oklahoma and western north Texas during the afternoon into evening of May 25th. At upper levels, a high-amplitude trough passed across the Great Plains during the day, with a focused jet ejection across portions of the Texas Panhandle/Oklahoma. The combination of strong dynamics/kinematics, locally extreme instability (objective analysis depiction >6000 J/kg CAPE) and unseasonably rich low-level moisture was sufficient for significant supercell thunderstorms. An initial round of supercells developed across portions of western-north Texas and eventually spread into portions of southwestern and southern Oklahoma through the evening. Additional supercells developed across northwestern Oklahoma, moving into northern Oklahoma by the late evening. All severe hazards, including multiple tornadoes, were observed with the most robust and longest-sustaining storms. A total of 6 tornadoes occurred during the May 25, 2024 severe weather event within the NWS Norman forecast area. Five more tornadoes occurred in the NWS Tulsa forecast are during the late evening hours of May 25th in northeastern Oklahoma.
