A Brief Introduction to Oklahoma's Weather:
Oklahoma is located in Tornado Alley. Tornado Alley is an area of
unstable air that causes many tornadoes and severe weather. Oklahoma
is also at a crossroads of warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico
and cold, dry air from the Rocky Mountains. Even though there are
many tornadoes in Oklahoma, Oklahoma is only 2nd in number of
tornadoes, Texas being first.
Although Oklahoma is known for many tornadoes and severe weather,
Oklahoma is also one of the most advanced forecasting areas in the
world. Oklahoma is home to the NSSL
(National Severe Storms Laboratory) in Norman, Oklahoma, about 18
miles south of Oklahoma City. KFOR-TV (NBC's affiliate in Oklahoma
City) possesses the most sophisticated television radar in the world:
The E.D.G.E. KWTV (CBS's affiliate in Oklahoma City) has Gary
England, the #1 Meteorologist in Oklahoma. (I have his autograph and
2 of his 5 books.)
