Chase Recap:
With an MCV evident in Oklahoma as well as a warm front, I decided to take a chance on low topped supercells along the warm front in Southeast Oklahoma. When leaving Norman, the rain was falling hard and flooding was occuring. We’d head down to southeast Oklahoma and witness a tornado near Bokchito.
Forecast
HRRR
What we noticed on the HRRR was a wave at 700mb with optimal timing. It would end up happening a bit further south, but i believe that aided in convective initiation.
Bokchito Oklahoma Tornado
As we repositioned north, the Bokchito Oklahoma Tornado would touch down just to our south and to the east of Highway 22.
