Meteorological synopsis
On April 20, 2024, the National Weather Service's Storm Prediction Center (SPC) first delineated a severe weather risk for April 25–26, highlighting a zone extending from the Central Great Plains northeastward to the Midwestern U.S. over both days. The forecast was predicated on the development of thunderstorms downwind of an upper-tropospheric trough, where weather forecast models were depicting the advection of a moist airmass.[15] The forecast was maintained through the next two days. The risk area was expanded into northeastern Texas on April 22 and later extended to include the possibility of severe weather on April 27 as well.[16][17]
On April 24, a widespread slight risk (level 2) area was issued by the Storm Prediction Center for April 26.[18] On the morning of April 25, this was upgraded to an enhanced risk of severe weather for parts of Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas, highlighting the risk of tornadoes and large hail in connection with storms developing along a dry line between the Texas Panhandle and northwestern Kansas.[19] This risk was later narrowed to two focal areas: one in northwestern Kansas associated with supercells during the afternoon and evening, and a second near the Red River, associated with an forecast cluster of storms during the overnight hours.[20] With an enhanced risk of severe weather in place, the Storm Prediction issued a tornado watch for eastern Oklahoma on the morning of April 26.[21] Several hours later, on the afternoon of April 26, another tornado watch was implemented for northeastern Nebraska, which included the possibility for "a couple of intense tornadoes."[22] At 3:41 PM CDT a tornado emergency was issued for West Elkhorn, NE as a large and destructive wedge tornado moved through the area.[8] Some homes were completely leveled and many more structures suffered significant damage. [23]
In the morning hours of April 27, the Storm Prediction Center issued a moderate risk (level 4) for central Oklahoma, north-central Texas, extreme southwestern Missouri, and southeastern Kansas. The moderate risk included a significant 15% tornado risk, a significant 30% wind risk, and a significant 45% hail risk.[24] Multiple supercells formed that afternoon in western Oklahoma, southeastern Kansas, and northwestern Missouri, as well as northern Texas, and a PDS tornado watch for western Oklahoma and northern Texas, regarding the very elevated probabilities for numerous tornadoes, some of which could be intense.[25] As the day went on, multiple tornadoes touched down, including a large wedge which passed near the town of Knox City, as well as Burkburnett in Texas from a separate supercell. Numerous other PDS tornado warnings were issued for large tornadoes near Cedar Vale, Kansas, as well as Newkirk, Oklahoma. As the day went on, supercells in the center of the main risk area waned, and a more linear mode developed. However, as the night progressed, multiple new supercells developed ahead of the main line, resulting in havoc, as multiple large, intense tornadoes were confirmed in south and eastern Oklahoma, causing significant damage and prompting new PDS warnings for the towns of Ardmore, Holdenville, Marietta, Okemah and Sulphur.[26] A total of 23 PDS tornado warnings were issued as the intense storms caused damage.[27] Furthermore, at least 2 deaths have been reported in Sulphur, OK according to the emergency manager. The death count included a 4-month old baby who was presumed dead. The baby was later found and declared deceased at a local hospital. [28]
