In anticipation of what is looking to be a very active day, just a friendly reminder to keep things focused/on topic as much as possible.  Also, rapid fire posting is likely to occur later and if you notice that you have posted something that was already posted, you can help by deleting your post.

Mean storm motion 240 at 35kts?  Spicy, and consistent with modeling for the last day or so.  Not much margin for error chasing today.

Let’s not forget the flash flooding that will likely make many roads impassable. And it’s gonna be busy. And the storms are gonna move fast. 

I know the pros are pros but today is anything but safe

Initiation east of Cooperton, Oklahoma.  Lets see if they blow up or if they fizzle out.  They show up as little tiny showers on KFDR.

Was about to mention that... NWS was putting out significant weather advisories for the areas of thunderstorm initiation.  Also mentioning other areas of initiation near Fitzhugh and near Gene Autry, off to the east.
