Abstract<\/h4>\n

In an 11-y period (2000\u20132010) 126 tornadoes affected central Oklahoma within a 111-km (60-nm) radius of the Twin Lakes, Oklahoma (KTLX) WSR-88D. \u00a0The tornadoes resulted in 265 injuries and 3 deaths. \u00a0This study used archived WSR-88D data to obtain information about storm characteristics such as mode, width, height, and measures of the mesocyclone, at the time of initial tornado formation. \u00a0The radar data provided information about the supercell spectrum and highlighted differences between tornado-producing supercells and tornado-producing quasi-linear convective systems (QLCSs), especially with respect to midlevel rotational velocity. \u00a0Warning lead-time information also was obtained and compared with the radar characteristics. \u00a0No specific radar attribute was strongly correlated with lead time, likely due to the multitude of variables involved in the tornado warning process. \u00a0A strong correlation did exist between lead time and storm mode. \u00a0Applying these findings in an operational environment similar to that found in central Oklahoma may enhance tornado warning performance.<\/p>\n
