Today had another enhanced risk with 5% tornado probability, this time over NE Oklahoma.
Started off from Witchita Falls, our overnight stay in NW Texas, headed northeast to Oklahoma City then just north of the city up the I-35 to stop for lunch. A severe-warned storm was already over Okarche to the west of our stop for lunch, so we then moved to intercept it to the west of Guthrie. We saw a small funnel briefly poke down then we followed the storm back east through Guthrie, but had to drive through the hail core, where we got pummelled by golf-ball sized hail as arrived at the interstate intersection just outside the town.
We then continued to follow the storm east stair stepping along roads east of I-35, having to go through the heavy rain and hail core to get ahead of it, buffeted by very strong outflow winds too.
