Oklahoma City, Oklahoma
Ah tornado alley. A storm chaser's favorite place, thought it doesn't look very chaseable this week.
At 1252PM, CT, Oklahoma City was reporting clear skies and a temperature of 42 degrees. Oklahoma City was lying north of a developing system over eastern Texas. This little trough was associated with a vorticity maximum in the upper levels. A stronger jet is emerging from the northern Rockies, driving southeastward to meet this low, eventually amplifying it and merging it with a broader, thought less severe area of low pressure moving through the northern tier, generating yet another east coast system.
Before it arrives there though, the system looks to bypass Oklahoma City to the south. The broader system associated with the stronger jet may bring a few rain showers late in the day tomorrow, but generally speaking, both systems will leave the region unaffected compared to where they will be at their worst. The parent jet will eventually lead to some stout ridging across the south central Plains, but lingering moisture is going to be trapped near the surface Tuesday, bringing on some cloudy skies.

Wow, Weatherbug really wants to cool OKC off, don't they? Satellite shows a fairly impressive blob of moisture developing over Texas.
