Chase Recap:

A highly anticipated apparent outbreak day results in a lot of messy storm modes in an Oklahoma Moderate Risk Bust. I ended up on multiple supercells, the most notable one I followed from east of Duncan to Norman before it took way off.

Forecast

Plenty of advance notice on this system, with Monday the 19th looking to be the outbreak day. A ski-jump jet would slam right into a stout dryline and seasonably moist and unstable air over Oklahoma.
