Storms in western Oklahoma have either weakened or moved southward to very long range from central Oklahoma radars. Today’s severe potential is largely driven by the diurnal cycle, and there is little hope of additional activity; the MCS outflow from this morning simply proved too deep and widespread across central Oklahoma. The event did provide Eric and Kevin a chance to become familiar with PAR data, and they will continue that theme by working an archived event this evening.

Meanwhile, Brad and Mark are viewing archived CASA data to increase their comfort level with the look and feel of that data. Between 2330 UTC and 0130 UTC they plan to run through another event in real-time playback to evaluate the utility of CASA data in making warning decisions.
