Yep as I thought, quite a strong TVS now and a well pronounced hook - could be a funnel or tornado and the SPC have a TW on that cell now

It's hooking now and there's a weak couplet, almost classic like supercell structure now with hail core and hook on the SW

Sadly I missed last night because my internet connection was down - courtesy of my Sky broadband box being faulty. All up and running again now though. Is there any archived video footage from last night, for those that missed it? I'd be surprised to see any storms pop up now to be honest. Perhaps we'll get lucky in and around that Enid zone, but peak SFC heating has been reached and gone and there's not a real forceful trigger mechanism. Marginal situations like this though can often spurn very discrete supercells, which are always the best. Especially when you get that pent up heat energy building at the SFC and a late late CAP break. Should one pop up I'm sure it'll thrive in an increasingly high sheared environment. Can't see it though unfortunately. :0(

Thanks Anvil. I have to say this is the first year where I've taken an active interest in the US storm scene and I'm addicted. It won't be long until I'll be out there chasing these babies. Perhaps next year. Until now I've followed almost every storm day in the 2009 calender on Severe Studios. An awesome site if you have not yet checked it out. I'm sure many of you will be familiar with the chasers on SS. Just watching the live feed now, great job guys. Fantastic that you're flying the flag for the UK storm enthusiasts it really is. A much more favourable day tomorrow that's for sure - not a bad dryline. Where would you target tomorrow Anvil, just out of interest? I have a fair idea where I would. Keep up the amazing work! You're doing us proud boys! Oh, and Girls ;0)

Not really ideal today. Still I suppose you have the isolated risk to hold onto. Will some-thing pop off that is the under-lying question? I think best positioning right now would be 'Enid OK' way. If we can get some initiation we will be away - especially in that NW OK zone where wind shear and SREH is highest. As has already been mentioned, storms that develop here will be well anchored to the BL. I hope you get lucky tonight guys. Looking at the overall scenario in terms of severe thunderstorm potential and not so much tornadic risk you'd have to favour Wichita Falls way SW OK. As has already been mentioned the veering SW of the wind flow does not favour tornadoes should they develop in this zone. Are you guys on the Spotter Network?

Any idea on the target zone for today Paul? Where are you at the moment? Haven't had a look at the charts today so far but I would of picked out Wichita Falls to Denton as a good zone last night and I'm guessing that probably still stands.
