Some of that storm went through here. 20 minutes of decent thunder and heavy rain. .25"

Wow nice. My area was basically caught between two cells. Another storm just passed to my north just now. They’ve been cleaning up in the past week.

I’m not a whiner but I’m starting to feel a bit like EastCoastNPZ :lol:

Day 2 Convective Outlook  
   NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
   1237 PM CDT Fri May 11 2018

   Valid 121200Z - 131200Z

   ...THERE IS AN ENHANCED RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM THE UPPER
   OHIO VALLEY TO THE NORTHERN MID ATLANTIC REGION...

   ...SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms producing damaging winds and some hail will be
   possible through Saturday night near and south of the Great Lakes
   through the upper Ohio Valley and portions of the northern Mid
   Atlantic Coast region.

   ...Synopsis...
   Models remain consistent with the evolution of the mid/upper level
   flow pattern across the contiguous U.S. for the Day 2 forecast
   period.  A large upper low will encompass much of the Intermountain
   West and adjacent portions of the Rockies and Pacific Coast states. 
   At the same time, seasonably strong northwesterly mid/upper flow is
   expected to persist across much of Canada into the Northeast and Mid
   Atlantic States.  A series of midlevel perturbations translating
   through the base of the western upper low will track from the upper
   Mississippi Valley through the southern Great Lakes and Ohio Valley
   to the Mid Atlantic region Saturday and Saturday night.  At the
   surface, a front is expected to advance south through the Ohio
   Valley into western/central PA, while the eastern extent of this
   boundary shifts north from MD into southeast PA, and extend into NJ.
   Farther west, this front is expected to remain nearly stationary
   from central IL to far northern MO, and southwest through KS,
   intersecting a dryline in the eastern OK Panhandle and adjacent
   southern KS.

   ...Ohio Valley to the Mid Atlantic States...
   Severe probabilities and categorical risk have been upgraded across
   the upper Ohio Valley to the Mid Atlantic region.  Boundary layer
   moistening is expected in advance of the southward advancing surface
   boundary, while strong diabatic heating and the eastern extent of a
   steep midlevel lapse rate plume contribute to moderate instability
   across the warm sector Saturday afternoon.  Mainly elevated storms
   are expected to be ongoing north of the surface front at the start
   of Day 2, with activity becoming surface based as the boundary
   advances south into the destabilizing environment.  Moderately
   strong deep-layer west-northwesterlies suggest line segments/bowing
   structures will be the primary storm mode, though effective bulk
   shear of 35-45 kt indicates embedded supercells will also be
   possible.  There is increasing concern and confidence for several
   swaths of damaging winds across the upper Ohio Valley to the
   northern Mid Atlantic region, as suggested by several CAMs.  A
   midlevel perturbation is expected to move through these areas during
   peak heating increasing the likelihood for thunderstorm development.
   A tornado threat will be possible across northern MD into southeast
   PA and adjacent NJ and DE, as low-level shear increases to the east
   and northeast of a surface low tracking into MD and along the warm
   front.

   
   ...MAXIMUM RISK BY HAZARD...
   Tornado:   5%     - Slight
   Wind:     30%     - Enhanced
   Hail:     15%     - Slight

I'm not in the enhanced. Sooo I'm out ;)

MoOc is on the southern end of the ENH and the front is sagging south not north.  You're in a good spot.  Wouldn't surprise me to see the ENH expanded south a bit.  Tomorrow AM will tell a lot when we get the first few shots of the visible satellite.  If there are healthy breaks then I'm probably "in".
