Kirstie and I had a few days to chase together in my X-terra between the end of Tour 4 and my flight back to California. On this day there was a decent chance of severe weather in north-central OK, with large CAPE values and so-so shear. The initial storm towers went up in the vicinity of Wakita, and these moved to the east. A handful of cells evolved and none of them were able to become particularly strong. We wound up on a storm near Billings which kicked up dust plumes and looked good for a little bit, but there was never much of a tornado threat. On the backside of the activity, near Enid, Dallas Raines joined us and we observed some mammatus.
