You would not believe this but we can see the developing CU Field to our North West at present, things looking up, we have decided against the Guthrie Storms as they look high based and we have a nice clear slot to our North West from here, great road options in the Caprock area.
NetWeather Team
Well it looks like things are looking good and patience is paying off as MD had just been issued for where we are http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/md/md0743.html

Just to let you know Paul Sherman has got some amazing Video of Lightning Hitting about 500 metres behind the Car with Instant Thunder, we will try to Upload it when we have a break in proceedings, what with late finishes after Storm Chases and uploading Chase Logs and Pictures from Cameras we have not had time yet, but we should pretty soon.
Cheers
Ozzie & Paul

Cheers Roger, yes a few of the Chasers that had converged here have blasted off South towards Paducah and Guthrie, but we simply wont make the N Oklahoma action today, so we have the cells to our South or new development around South West Oklahoma to play with. Nice Dew Points now in Vernon (Tx) around 66f so we wait a little bit longer.

The Following from Paul Sherman
Now we have a decision to make. An MD Has been issued for Northern Oklahoma which is 300 miles North but not in the Moderate Risk area, we have an electrified cell now 80 miles to our South near Guthrie. Sat here drinking a few buds talking and chatting with Ryan Mcnamara (SkyWarn Spotter) from Arizona and a few US Chasers all swapping data. So do we blast North or head South East???

Currently sat in Childress outside the Kettle Rest nicking their Wifi, looks like we will sit tight for a few hours and Storms look to initiate quite a bit later on this afternoon, probably 11pm onwards your time, Temp at 140pm is 88f with 59f Dew Points, main problem today is the return of moisture due to yesterday's storms.

SPC Have Updated the Risk to our First MODERATE Today
Looks like we are just in the Moderate Risk area so when things go boom today we could have some spectacular Structure Shots and possibly my first ever Supercell!! Paul & Matt are grinning like Cheshire cats at the Mo!!
...SRN PLNS...
BOUNDARY LAYER MOISTURE EXPECTED TO CONTINUE SPREADING NWD FROM MUCH
OF TX INTO OK TODAY AS WEAK FRONT NOW IN NW TX/SE OK LIFTS NWD AND
WEAKENS. THE FRONT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN TEMPORARILY REINFORCED BY
ONGOING ELEVATED STORMS INVOF THE RED RVR AND NWD. BUT SFC DEW
POINTS SHOULD RISE WELL INTO THE 60S AS THE FRONT WASHES OUT OVER
CNTRL/NRN OK.
LARGE SCALE FORCING OVER REGION SHOULD BE WEAK. APPARENT IMPULSE
NOW OVER AZ MAY BEGIN TO AFFECT THE SRN HI PLNS LATE TODAY/EARLY
THIS EVENING. HOWEVER...THE FEATURE IS NOT WELL-DEPICTED IN THE
GUIDANCE. IN FACT...THE GFS FORECASTS MINOR SHORTWAVE RIDGING OVER
SW TX THROUGH THE DAY. AT BEST THIS MAY ENHANCE UPR DIFFLUENCE OVER
AREAS FARTHER N AND E INTO OK.
AT ANY RATE...COMBINATION OF STRONG HEATING...IMPLIED UPR
DIFFLUENCE...AND LOW LEVEL ASCENT ALONG LEE TROUGH/DRY LINE AND
AFOREMENTIONED FRONT SHOULD BE ENOUGH TO BREAK CAP AND PROMOTE STORM
DEVELOPMENT FROM THE ERN TX PANHANDLE INTO SW KS BY LATE IN THE DAY.
40+ KT DEEP WNWLY SHEAR WILL SUPPORT SUPERCELLS...SOME OF WHICH MAY
INITIALLY BE HIGH-BASED. VERY LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY DAMAGING WIND
SHOULD ACCOMPANY THESE STORMS. SETUP COULD ALSO YIELD A TORNADO OR
TWO GIVEN HIGH SBCAPE /AOA 2500 J PER KG/ AND LIKELIHOOD FOR
BOUNDARY INTERACTIONS/BACKED LOW LEVEL FLOW INVOF REMNANT FRONT.
THIS THREAT WOULD BE GREATEST FROM THE ERN TX PANHANDLE/NW TX INTO
WRN AND PERHAPS CNTRL OK. THE STORMS SHOULD ORGANIZE INTO SEVERAL
CLUSTERS AND MOVE GENERALLY EAST TOWARD THE LWR PLNS DURING THE
EVENING...AIDED BY STRENGTHENING LLJ.

Hi Steve, Paul is not online at present but says thanks for the info, looks like Woodward maybe a bit to far North for today after all as initiation could be further South over South-West Oklahoma around Childress area so we may be playing the Tail end Charlie today, everything pointing towards possible Supercell outbreak today once the cap goes.
Regards
Paul & Ozzie
