But the anemic 700 mb flow suggests core dumping in the updraft areas....however.....with proper storm motions, southeast, one can get adequate storm relative flow even at 700 mb (a lesson underscored by the Sheridan Lake and more spectacular Campo events last year).
And then, there is that outflow boundary/ies. We are just leaving Tulsa on the backside of that. Some of the cases the last several days illustrate how important those can be on days with marginal shear. Thom and I are still a bit awed by what happened yesterday....when I posted our summary yesterday evening I was unaware that so many people lost their lives and that the storm so devastated Joplin. To think that we were 10 minutes or so and a hook echo crossing the freeway away from getting into that is sobering.
Anyway, we are targeting the area southwest of Enid today, unless something changes in the observational fields as we are driving.
