Day 4 2nd Chase Planning

The day dawned clooudy and cool this morning, but the low deck cleared quickly to bright sunshine by 9am. This is good news, as the worry was that low stuff left by all the storms yesterday might inhibit convection today.

The SPC warnings for today cover a vast area, but a closer look at some of the high-res models indicates a couple of areas of interest - one in the western TX panhandle between Canadian and Childress, the other back in SW Kansas around Garden City/Dodge City. Baring in mind that tomorrows activity looks like being in central/western OK, we've decided to take the southern route into TX. This area also looks like being the more tornadic option, and we've a taste for blood after yesrerday!

We're looking at going to Canadian TX first and have a look at see what's developing, then maybe head further south to Childress if things are bubbling up there.

More news later after repositioning.
