WHAT DO WE NEED TO BE PREPARED FOR DURING THIS FALL STORM SEASON? YEAH. WELL, SEVERE WEATHER IN OKLAHOMA CAN REALLY BE ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. WE KNOW WE SEE A PEAK IN THE SPRING. AND WHILE WE DON’T SEE IT EVERY YEAR, OKLAHOMA CAN HAVE A SECOND SEVERE WEATHER SEASON IN THE FALL. THIS WEEK, WE START TO SEE A TINY TRANSITION OVER TO FALL STORM SEASON. BUT IT REALLY SHOWS UP AROUND OCTOBER AND NOVEMBER. DESTRUCTIVE WINDS, MASSIVE HAIL AND TORNADOES ARE ALL PART OF SEVERE WEATHER HERE IN THE STATE. AND THE SECOND PEAK OF SEVERE WEATHER HAPPENS WHEN THE SEASON CHANGES OVER TO FALL. SO REALLY, WHEN WE START GETTING INTO THAT CHANGE OF SEASONS THAT WE’RE ENTERING INTO RIGHT NOW, ESPECIALLY IN OCTOBER, THAT’S WHEN WE KIND OF THINK OF THAT NEXT LITTLE BUMP IN SEVERE WEATHER ACTIVITY IS COMING. THE NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE AND OUR TEAM OF METEOROLOGISTS HERE AT KOCO ARE STARTING TO WATCH THIS TRANSITION. THAT MEANS MORE COLD FRONTS MOVE THROUGH THE JET STREAM MOVES A BIT FARTHER SOUTH. THE INGREDIENTS START SETTING UP FOR SEVERE WEATHER. THE STORMS DON’T HAVE A CALENDAR. THEY DON’T KNOW WHAT MONTH IT IS. SO WE’VE HAD SOME REALLY SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER THAT’S HAPPENED DURING THAT FALL SEASON. TWO YEARS AGO, OCTOBER 20TH, 21, OKLAHOMA SET AN ALL TIME RECORD FOR THE NUMBER OF TORNADOES IN THE MONTH. THAT NUMBER, 34 YEARS BEFORE THAT OTHER SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER DURING THE FALL, OCTOBER 4TH AND FIFTH, 1998, A TORNADO OUTBREAK ACROSS CENTRAL OKLAHOMA IN NOVEMBER 2011, AN F4 TORNADO STRUCK NEAR TIPTON, OKLAHOMA, WHEN THE RIGHT WEATHER INGREDIENTS COME TOGETHER, SEVERE WEATHER SEASON CAN BE ANY TIME OF THE YEAR. IT’S JUST ALWAYS IMPORTANT TO REMEMBER THAT SEVERE WEATHER SEASON CAN BE ANY TIME HERE IN OKLAHOMA. WE’RE ALL REALL
