One thing that would really help me out in learning is to have a step-by-step tutorial on which resources (including links) you use on any given day, like (and this is my guess which is very likely to be wrong, but just to give you an example)
I'm actually not sure this would be helpful, as it can be overwhelming, and not everything will mean something to you at first. Figure out a routine that works for you, and expand as you find new resources and learn more!
For example, everyone should pretty much start with the 4 ingredients of severe storms as a basis. Let's start with:
Is there ample moisture?
Well there isn't a predefined amount. Many people go by 60deg dewpoints at the surface as an indicator. But then you notice with experience that storms can drop tornadoes in Colorado or Texas with 50deg dewpoints? How does that work? Well, orographic features to be blunt, but it's yet another thing you'll need to investigate.
Then you notice that forecast models are often wrong on dewpoints. You planned a 2 day chasecation when you saw 65deg dewpoints forecast, but in reality they ended up being 55deg and the storms lacked oomph. So now the question is why did the models over-forecast moisture, and can they under-forecast?
Then you notice 65deg dewpoints but storms still had problems, and you notice there was no moisture at 850mb. So now the question is how deep does moisture need to be and how does 850mb cyclogenesis work?
You start asking enough of these questions and experiencing enough and you build up a framework of what you check for a forecast. Friend people on Facebook and learn about new model sites when they link to them. Ask people here how to find certain information. Google search, and archive search here. Checking something is only useful if you find it useful, understand it, and incorporate it into your decision making process.
Go through this process for the other ingredients. Re-evaluate. Iterate. Improve. Adjust.
For an example, here is what I do on chase mornings:
*I've already been forecasting at least a day in advance for everything but the most surprise local setups, so I have a general idea of how well the four ingredients are being met, and how things will likely play out. This is based on 5 years of doing this for almost every decent setup.
1) I quick check the SPC outlook image (only) to make sure nothing has drastically changed. If I expected the risk to be in OK, and all of a sudden the new outlook is a slight risk in NE, I need to wake everyone up and we need to get into panic mode and figure out what changed or if the SPC is on drugs.
2) Then I check the HRRR to see when it breaks out precipitation and what type of precipitation. I treat this very generally. I worry if I see no precip breaking out, but otherwise I give supercells a 2-3 hour window around the time the HRRR shows it. Either way, I make note of it for addressing the cap later.
3) I check current observations and satellite to identify surface synoptic features like fronts and lows
4) I go back to the HRRR to see how these synoptic features are likely to move throughout the day
5) I check the HRRR to assess all the ingredients - usually MLCAPE for instability, surface dews for moisture, and SRH/500mb winds/850mb winds/sfc winds for shear. Lift is kind of something that is hard to assess and there's a lot of implied and derived outcomes based on what I see throughout this whole process.
6) I check vis sat/wv loops to identify short waves, outflow boundaries, and the like
7)
Now I check SPC text to verify whether I missed anything or might want to reconsider something. I don't want their thoughts tainting my forecast or adding bias before I've even done it.
*get into position*
8) Sit and watch vis sat for signs of the atmosphere being ready to produce
