Afternoon Showers and Storms
May 16th, 2010 | 
Author: Showers and storms are popping this afternoon ahead of a weak frontal boundary to the north. Numerous outflow boundaries are aiding in convection across a good chunk of the state. We will likely venture out this evening to get a little video of anything that may prove to be interesting with the ongoing weather.
10:20PM Update
Tornado warnings have been required this evening for portions of Pratt and Kingman counties where some tornadoes have been spotted by storm chasers from this supercell. This storm continues to move toward the southeast at around 30 miles per hour this evening. This isolated activity should calm down over the next few hours.
10:47PM Update
The leading edge of the line of storms is approaching the MS/AL state line. Some isolated cells have fired ahead of the main shield and some increase in lightning output has been noted over the last 30 minutes. These storms will likely begin to weaken over the next hour or so as they move into Alabama where the air is slightly more stable.
