Well, this wasn’t the most exciting chase day, but it was a good chance to get out with first time chase partner, Robert Satkus.  We took a drive down I-35 and stopped near the Red River southwest of Ardmore and enjoyed the warm and moist air.

The better looking storm development was occurring on the Texas side of the river and we made the short jump southwest – staying ahead of storms as they approached Gainesville.  Honestly, there wasn’t a lot to get excited about.  About 4 miles west of Kingston we took up shelter and let an approaching severe storm roll over where we measured 1.24″ hail.  This was my first severe hail to document in Marshall County.

We called it a day after the hail and rolled back north enjoying some BBQ in Ardmore before heading toward Norman and home.
