Question 6.  Look at the radar echoes between 4:30 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. What is the general motion of the echoes? Do any of the storms move in a different direction from the overall motion?
 


 
Answer. The general flow of the echoes is from west to east across Oklahoma. A few convective cells have deviated from the general flow. The storm in Noble county turned to the southeast; it is a right moving storm. The storm previously in northern Grady county split into two storms. First, one storm made a slight turn to the right (southeast) as it entered McClain county. The second storm from the split has turned to the north, is located in Oklahoma County, and is a left moving storm.
