Weather Summary
Kari Kiefer
Weather Underground midday recap for Friday, May 24, 2013.

Heavy rainfall and strong thunderstorms developed over southern Texas and northern Mexico on Friday, as onshore flow from the Gulf of Mexico maintained warm and humid conditions. Rainfall totals reached over 2 inches by mid-day for the region. Uvalde, Texas saw a mid-day total of 2.06 inches of rain. Wind gusts up to 50 mph also accompanied this system.

To the north, showers and thunderstorms developed over the Plains as a broad low pressure system moved off the Rockies and into the Plains. This pushed a warm front eastward, which allowed for showers and thunderstorms to pop up from North Dakota through Kansas. These storms have not yet turned severe but there was a slight chance of severe thunderstorm development across northeastern Colorado and into western Kansas and Nebraska. Large hail and strong winds were likely in these areas, with possibly a tornado or two.

Meanwhile in the East, a trough of low pressure and associated cold front allowed for showers and thunderstorms to persist from the Mid-Atlantic states through Maine. Strong winds and heavy rainfall were reported from Pennsylvania through Maine. Out West, a trough of low pressure over the Pacific Northwest kicked up a few more scattered showers across Washington and Oregon, which moved into Idaho and western Montana.

.Update... This is an event summary with previously released information
concerning the tornadoes that occurred in eastern Oklahoma and northwest
Arkansas on may 20 2013. We will continue to evaluate information
over the coming days. At present the tornado count for this event in the

Survey summary: this tornado remained over open country for most
of its lifecycle. The rating is based on the single home that it
is known to have damaged and the nearby barn. The path length is
therefore an estimate based on radar data and the width will be an
estimate mainly based on chaser video.

Survey summary: this tornado damaged several houses... damaged
barns or outbuildings... and snapped or uprooted a number of trees.
It dissipated over the south side of Seneca Missouri after
snapping or uprooting several trees as it crossed the state line
and crossed Highway 43. Several eyewitnesses north of Wyandotte saw
two tornadoes approaching from the west and radar data as well as
damage patterns support that conclusion. In addition... there was
lots of evidence of straight-line wind damage south of the
tornado paths as the Bow echo storm surged east as it approached
the state line.

.Proctor tornado...

.Siloam Springs Arkansas tornado...

Rating: EF-1

path width /maximum/: 500 yards
fatalities: 0
injuries: 0

Start date: may 20 2013

start location: 1.8 NW Siloam Springs / Benton County / AR
start lat/lon: 36.2001 / -94.5690

end time: 654 PM CDT
end location: 2.5 NNE Siloam Springs / Benton County / AR
end_lat/lon: 36.2217 / -94.5263

Survey_summary: the tornado appeared to touchdown just inside the Arkansas
state line and travel east-northeast before turning more to the north and
dissipating. The tornado did minor damage to several homes and damaged
many trees. The tornado appeared strongest after the turn to the north
and while its width was diminishing. During this time it... downed
several very large trees in a cyclonic fashion. Widespread damaging
winds occurred in the Siloam Springs area with wind speeds near that of
the tornado... so the damage assessment was complicated. In addition...
we have seen social media images that suggest there was a funnel cloud more
directly over Siloam Springs. Given the widespread wind damage that was on
par with that of the tornado it has been difficult to directly tie damage
to The Funnel cloud picture... but we will continue to evaluate information.
The official record for this and all tornadoes is not submitted for 2 months
following the event.

.Beaver Lake Arkansas tornado...

Rating: EF-1
estimated peak wind: 90-95 mph
path length /statute/: 0.8 miles

end_lat/lon: 36.3300 / -93.9235

Survey_summary: the tornado damaged one home... several boat docks and
snapped many Oak trees. The tornado was embedded in a wide swath of
damaging winds.

.Cameron Oklahoma tornado...

Rating: EF-1
estimated peak wind: 85-90 mph
path length /statute/: 8.5 miles
path width /maximum/: 500 yards
fatalities: 0
injuries: 0

Start date: may 20 2013
start time: 844 PM CDT
start location: 5.1 SSW Cameron / Le Flore County / OK
start lat/lon: 35.0737 / -94.5888

End date: may 20 2013
end time: 855 PM CDT
end location: 3.6 ENE Cameron / Le Flore County / OK
end_lat/lon: 35.1538 / -94.4761

Survey summary: the tornado did minor damage to the roof of one home
and downed or damaged a number of trees. The damage in Poteau was the
result of straight-line winds that were the precursor to the tornado.
The Mobile home damaged near the end of the tornado path was most
likely damaged by wind.

Ef scale: the Enhanced Fujita scale classifies tornadoes into the
following categories.

EF0... weak... ... 65 to 85 mph
EF1... weak... ... 86 to 110 mph
EF2... strong... .111 to 135 mph
EF3... strong... .136 to 165 mph
EF4... violent... 166 to 200 mph
EF5... violent... >200 mph
