6/4 - 11am CDT - NW Oklahoma

It's off to Northwest Oklahoma this morning as we look for super-heated air. Even though the SPC has a MODERATE risk in Kansas and Nebraska, it is pretty certain that temperatures in OK should create a great deal of convection and a thermal low, thus making storms. Any storm that forms down here will cut off resources to the storms in Kansas, so this looks like a pretty good target area.

In the mean time, we're going to visit the town where Twister was filmed, Wakita, OK. We already saw the lake where the dual tornadoes and flying cows happened in the movie yesterday. It was odd as we drove over Kaw Lake since that scene was so memorable. One of our drivers shouted over the radio, "We've got cows!"

That story about Twister was cool. I never knew the town actually existed. Cool.
