After visiting the Twister Museum in Wakita, OK, we drifted around between the Kasas-Oklahoma border waiting for storm initiation to happen. We saw a dry line on radar and the moisture that it was pushing and quickly drove to that boundary. Nothing but a few puffy clouds came about; The cap (atmospheric pressure cooker lid) was simply too strong.
So we motored as fast as we could to Woodward, OK so we could get there before Mazzio's Pizza closed. Dinner was a pleasant reward for waiting so long without any storms. Some linear storms did form in Northern Kansas, but there was little chance of a tornado and they wouldn't be fun to chase due to all the rainy mess and wind-driven gust fronts.
There's quite a bit of hype surounding tomorrow's storm situation. Various sources like the Stormtrack.org forum and Norman, OK NWS office indicated that this outbreak tomorrow could be an earth-shaker. The SPC has a MODERATE risk out for most of the Plains tomorrow, but we'll take that with a grain of salt. It's difficult to forecast severe weather even the night before and even harder to pinpoint a general location of the storms. Hopefully we can get in some adrenaline-fueled chasing tomorrow...
