Bob’s account<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Moisture was finally ramping up to reasonably good levels this day, with low-mid 60s dew points moving into western OK from the southeast. \u00a0Overall shear was barely enough for supercells, so SPC gave us an enhanced risk along the E TX PH\/W OK border area. \u00a0The slight risk extended all of the way to the Rio Grande, but it appeared that the best instability\/shear combination was close to I-40 from about McLean to Elk City. \u00a0Tornado risk was not very good due to so-so low-level turning and somewhat high cloud bases.<\/p>\n

Somewhat early initiation commenced near Clarendon and Pampa. \u00a0This activity really sputtered, which was a bit surprising. \u00a0We stayed east of the junk on I-40, hoping that something would become worthwhile. \u00a0We found a storm near Sweetwater, OK, that looked a little promising for a minute or two. \u00a0It also sputtered as it dragged us to the vicinity of Foss Reservoir. \u00a0As sunset neared, we watched a linear feature to the southwest, but it was not interesting enough to charge towards.<\/p>\n
