5/25 - 11:15am CDT - A Great Day for Supercells

We're on the road right now heading toward the SW Kansas area and possibly N Oklahoma. The SPC says there's a MODERATE risk in this area and there's a pretty good moisture flow and lots of instability. An area of low pressure is also expected to form and come into that area as well, further making this a good day to see some severe weather. We just got finished shopping at Wal-Mart, buying food and other necessities since we might not be able to stop and eat lunch or dinner.

After arriving in Amarillo yesterday, I flicked on the TV and this is what I saw:




This was quite a series of tornadoes that ripped through Oklahoma, but luckily they just hit a rural area. It was interesting to see live pictures of a developing tornado like that.

Hopefully I'll have some interesting pictures to share with you tonight or tomorrow after we intercept these storms. It looks like the tornado activity should start later this afternoon into tonight. I'll try my best to upload a couple of the best ones, but the web connection out here is a little slow and things could get busy. Here's hoping for a good show this afternoon!
