The terrain is more up and down and more forested and also more urban areas. The result is a lot more local driving forces from uneven terrain and not the easier landscapes of the High Plains. It is just easier to judge storms in Oklahoma.

Actually Archie is a weatherman in Witchita Falls - which is south of us about an hour and a half or so. I was just giving him some smack.
