I noticed the nice thin line of svr warnings up OK and laughed. Must feel good to call it, decide to stick to it and not waste the gas, and end up being right!! -gb Nice call on the squall dude.

In fact, there were no tornadoes reported in TX or OK, a few in KS, and the bulk of them were in and around the Omaha, NE area.

Have to admit it feels pretty good to nail a big forecast on a difficult day like this was. God knows I bust plenty of them as well. heh You know as well as I do having chasing many years, there is something to be said for going with your gut feelings on most days. My bank account is thanking me for sitting this one out as well. Thank you sir! Have to admit it feels pretty good to nail a big forecast on a difficult day like this was.

You nailed it pretty much dead-on. Congrats!! Excellent forecast. Nicely done. :-) Well, you can sing from the hilltops, bud. You nailed it pretty much dead-on. Congrats!! Excellent forecast.

We have seen a few forecast events like this over the past years and most (if not all) have ended up panning out into the scenario you describe in the blog here. I think you’re right David.

I do think that there is a great chance of discrete isolated tornadic supercells out ahead of the main line...my best guess is KS down to I-40 in OK of this heppening around the Huthinson, KS and I-35 corridor in OK. Those will be the real monsters in my opinion with the cyclic long-track tornado threat. That's my amateur forecast opinion anyway. How many 100mph+ straight-line wind reports do you think we'll see today? I'd say quite a few.
