Meteorological breakdown of the significant tornado outbreak that occurred across parts of SE Oklahoma, W Arkansas, and NE Texas on November 4, 2022.

Thanks to Micah Hart for providing me with the RadarScope radar imagery.

Learning a lot by watching these discussion videos. Keep it up man.

Hey Trey! I love the video and the explanation of the meteorological setup. I forecasted and tracked Friday to a very deep extent. I ended up creating 6 products over the day, including hand analysis of raw data plots. I love seeing other people analyzing surface maps! I think it’s a lost art. As someone who did 3 analyses that day, it was certainly interesting watching the extreme confluence and the moisture pool develop, and watch how the cold front changed the mode so fast. I appreciate the simple yet detailed accounts of these severe setups! I look forward to continue watching these.

The fact that each rotating supercell were somewhat discrete, with every ingredient made it absolutely perfect!

Great meteorological breakdown Trey; it's been incredibly interesting and informative to follow the before, during and after with this event via your forecasts, chase and finally this round up. Great work my friend, as always!

U missed the remains of Hurricane Lisa being in the position where the cold front could take its moisture, besides that love the Analysis

Both idabel and powderly were rated ef-4

Awesome👍🙂 video Trey. This will probably go in the history books as one of the biggest tornado outbreaks to hit the plains in November. Great meteorological discussion as always.

Compliments on another relevant and good video. On a different note, I'm not an audio engineer, but I've heard of a noise-gates and they sound like something your videos would benefit from. I'm usually not watching and only listening with earphones though

Hey Trey, I don't know if you've ever confirmed in any previous videos that I'm aware of but is Madwx chasing a second channel of yours? You've mentioned during forecast videos that you'd be out chasing on those days and I never knew where to find any footage you personally got. As always great analysis and glad you made it out safe during this latest severe weather outbreak.

I would hate to find out how bad this event would've been if it happened during spring! I think would've for sure been a high risk. I don't know how DFW got away with not a single tornado in the area but I am grateful we didn't. I was so anxious since I have storm anxiety anyway... I have since I was a little kid

[thebroderickhoward]

Watching this to pass the time of this boring stretch of weather for the next week and a half or so. Hoping for the fall/winter season to ramp up as we go into the latter half of november/december.

Great analysis, I definitely learned some new things!

[myria]

Love these videos man, love listening to these at work

[peachxtaehyung]

Can you do one of these for the April 2012 event in DFW? It was forecasted to be not a bad event maybe some hail and maybe a brief tornado. But we got much worse then that and my house was nearly hit by one of those tornadoes

[wx_intercepts]

So good and I always learn so much. Thank you. This recap of an event I chased was very interesting. If you see this, my question would be about the Henderson County EF-2 down near Athens that I saw. It was very rain wrapped unlike many others as you mentioned in your video. What was different about the environment down there?

[dragnflei]

I’d seen your morning update and was watching things all day to see what happened. I have a daughter in Ft Worth and was concerned. They lucked out but a lot of other folks didn’t.

[HaydenWX]

I went chasing that day, I have a video where I caught 2 tornadoes on camera on my channel. Trying to gain a foothold in the Stormchasing community

[hgbugalou]

Most of the dynamics were gone by the time the system made it to my area near Memphis so not much severe wise. There were a few 40+mph gusts. One thing of note though is lots of CG lightning out of this for whatever reason and it caused quite a few power outages here. I am not sure if it was something with this system, or the lower soil moisture here from the drought, but it really making some booms.

[johnshields]

Mother nature is the boss, I imagine no photos or videos can really relate what it's like to actually see one up close and personal.

I AM ONE OF THE TORNADO VICTIMS IN IDABEL OKLAHOMA. WE WERE HIT HARD.
