We're in Altus right now, and after a long battle with the Wireless connections around here we have a stable one. The winds appear to be backing slightly at my location. We've watched numerous towers go up along the boundary near the border, now it's just a waiting game. I'm hoping that the shear indicated by the Jayton profiler makes it this way soon, as it appears the best winds are about the round the base of the trough into the Childress-Hollis-Altus region.

No, it's not the cut and paste part. You are not supposed to CUT AND PASTE NOAA PRODUCTS period! The only exception is if you add informational comments along with them. Now, we're getting off the subject, so...
Anyways, we're still in Childress in the Kettle Resteraunt parking lot. JR Hehnly and his wife Kathy has just arrived, as well as a few chasers from the UK, including fellow ST member Mark Humpage. Along with Rocky Rascovic and a few others... Feel free to come on over!

From the latest Ruc update there's a focus of convergence just North est of Childress in Oklahoma: probably South-Western part of oklahoma is not bad: Lawton, Sw Chickasha are two good targets. There the sky is clear and I expect a good convective development.

The cell to our SW (sw of Childress) is showing 20KT shear on GRLevel3 radar, and is somewhat intensifying and has a bit of shape to it. We'll see....
3:49 PM edit: OK, that storm is really beginning to take some shape to it, and a SVR has just been issued on it....J Gontesky

An (outflow) boundary is still appearing on the visible satellite sagging southward very slowly from the convection along I-40 at the TX/OK border...may provide the impetus for initiation in the jucier air to its south around Childress...

Imm viz Sat suggests that the Lubbock cells are sill under NW flow @300mb. This looks to be the base of the trough so we need to see the Anvil level winds veer to the SW soon ~ before it all lines out...J Gontesky

I like to keep tabs on the tornadoes that are reported in the Local Storm Reports, always interesting when a damage survey is done, and a public information statement comes out or when its finally in Storm Data, to see what winds up being counted as a tornado.
