OKC Weather/Approaching Storm


It is 7:30 AM and we have an approaching storm which runs almost the length of Oklahoma.

I awoke to thunder and soon saw lightening. It was right at daybreak. Shortly after that, appeared a beautiful rainbow to my NW. I grabbed the camera and got some shots of it. I tried capturing the eagle flying across the rainbow but my camera speed was to slow and there were trees in the backdrop. Soon the sun shone brightly and the rainbow faded into a black sky. The sun is now gone and the sky has begun to lighten.

The thunderstorms are moving NE at 20 mph bringing a cooler front with strong North winds behind it. At 8:10 AM, we received a report of a severe thunderstorm warning. Radar indicated the storm was moving NE through Noble county at 20 mph. It contains penny size hail and 65 mph winds. Another report: This one is for Kingfisher county which is the county to my West. It also contains hail but only 50 mph winds. My area is still cloudy with no rain but the storm is still approaching. The temperature is 74 degrees with 71% humidity.
