5 June 2005

Chase crew: me, Daphne, Nathan, and Brian This chase began in Norman after watching a subtle N-S boundary in SW OK for convective initiation. We were a little late leaving, and a tornado occurred while we were about 10-15 miles too far east. The storm drifted south and provided an easy chase target once we finally left Norman.

The storm begins to develop interesting banded structure while transition from a "classic" to more "heavy precipitation" supercell.

Well-developed inflow bands as supercell drifts S across hwy 62 in SW OK. Given close lightning and awkward left arm brace, I was forced to shot with one hand from inside the vehicle.
