I left Norman around
1pm targeting a region along a strong outflow boundary north of I-40
in Western Oklahoma. Just after exiting the low-level stratus deck the
first tower became visible, that tower developed into the first super
cell of the day. While driving north on 281 towards Watonga, OK the
tower developed an anvil. The cell received a severe thunderstorm warning
as I approached the updraft on 58 NW of Watonga. The supercell formed
a rotating wall cloud and quickly became HP. I followed the storm on
dirt roads until it completely collapsed.

I hit heavy rain
an dime-sized hail near Sayre. The rain and hail ended abruptly on the
west side of Sayre.
