Dewpoint and Theta E

As afternoon fell, there was still a very pronounced area of moisture in Southwest and Western Oklahoma with a sharp gradient between the more stable/less moist air in Central Oklahoma/OKC Metro.

Chance and I decided to take a short trip west just in case. It was a Saturday evening and the Thunder were on, which we could watch on the laptop in the vehicle.

19Z SPC Mesoanalysis

We headed west from Norman along highway 37 for many miles, continuing onto 152 near Binger. We ended up taking it all the way to Cordell before heading up to the Domino Stop in Clinton. After spending 15-20 minutes there, we drove up and found a place to hang out just west of Custer City.

00Z Observed Soundings

We’d end up north of Watonga on this supercell as it passed to the north. Some long exposure photography
