This was the third consecutive chase day with good-to-excellent prospects. \u00a0SPC again showed an enhanced slight risk with a 10% tornado risk, primarily in NC and NE Oklahoma, north of I-40. \u00a0We were in good shape position-wise, with an easy two-hour drive from Randlett (near the Red River along I-44) to Oklahoma City and Guthrie. \u00a0However, storms developed quite early. \u00a0Big towers were going up just north of Guthrie as we waddled out of our Arbys lunch stop! \u00a0This was displeasing, as early storm development usually means a weak cap. \u00a0And a weak cap often portends a quick transition from discrete severe storms to non-discrete junky and messy storms. \u00a0This is basically how things went in Oklahoma today.<\/p>\n
