2 May 2022 – Oklahoma Supercells

It’s not too often that you can leave Okarche and end up chasing a storm near Purcell by way of Waynoka.  We originally targeted northwest Oklahoma but became unimpressed with the idea as we got into Alfalfa County.  Things were a little messy, with a lot of storm interaction and little in the way of structure to keep us there.  A storm was approaching Kingfisher County that was more isolated, which we targeted and started moving south.  But we were just a tad late on arrival and missed brief tornadoes near Loyal.  We were still treated with some nice structure before the storm started weakening:

The next hope was storms moving from Caddo into Grady county.  We worked our way around Chickasha and east toward Purcell with a nice looking supercell:

 

Probably the best image we captured came on our way home… stopping in far west OKC for a view of the mammatus near sunset:
