Storm Chase Day 5
Nothing to report from Day 4 other than I went from Little Elm, TX to Oklahoma City.
Yes we finally get to chase today.
The storms for today are ok, with only a 5 percent chance of hail and wind being the only threat. Right now I am looking to drive to Garden City, KS. From there will take a look at radar, Satellite, and look at the models to see if anything has changed. Storm initiation should be occurring in southeast Colorado Western Kansas around 4pm local time(5pm EDT). Will update after arrival into Garden City between 12 and 1pm local time(1 and 2pm EDT).
Unfortunately, I will not be driving through Hooker, OK( home of the Hooker Inn) or Liberal, KS(official home of Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz). These two places are only 24 miles apart.
Tomorrow will be more interesting day. As its the last day of chasing on my own. Currently there is a 2 percent chance of tornadoes in the panhandle of Oklahoma and northwest OK. The problem that arises is when do the storms initiate and where. As it would be a 5 to 7 hour drive back to Denver to return the car by 11am(1pm EDT) on Friday. Will know more in 12 hours.
Extended outlook:
Friday is a down day. Arrival day for the tour. Of course most of central Texas has a slight chance of severe weather already forecasted.
Saturday, the same area is still has a chance of severe weather. If we do chase from Denver to Texas it will be a long day as it is about a 10 to 11 hour drive.
