Currently in Watonga, and I have no desire to reposition yet. Biggest factors to me including extreme dry punch moving NE out of TX with demarkation dramatically delineated on current sfc obs. Basically Tds begin dropping rapidly W of I-35 currently with Alva showing 86/59 and Ft. Sill, OK showing 79/71. Strong sfc convergence along readily apparent with a thick line focus N/S along I-35 on SAT. But sfc obs show only minimal convergence along and W of that line. Much more potent sfc convergence currently residing in the TX PH will move east with dryline today. From chase perspective, I want to avoid the triple point today due to probability of rapid storm initiation along warm front. CIN demonstrated on current SAT over SW OK with subsidence currently will allow veritable baking of atmosphere. Favor the area N of Lawton to Watonga for initiation of conditional threat best for chasing purposes.
SPC and local NWSFOs are going to be wickedly busy today. Amazing wind fields aloft, TBQH.
I sit and watch obs for now. No repositioning yet. Should decide soon on repositioning need.
