Those storms rumbled on over Plainview for most of the night, and the day started overcast with heavy rain and occasional lightning. No time to stand and watch though, as we had to hightail it eastward to position for the day's action this afternoon.
A long drive was always on the cards, as we try to get in front of the Low that brought us all the action today. Early model runs were pointing to CAPE of over 2500 and LI of -8 to -10, and SRH of 300 around the TX/OK border to the east of Wichita Falls. Early SPC also favoured this area, and indeed upgraded to Moderate risk later in the morning for an area around the border from the I35 eastward. Tornadoes are still a risk, along with supercells and large hail. The action should kick off from mid-afternoon onwards, so we're currently (at 18.23 BST) driving along the I35, 10 miles outside Wichita Falls.
