Tuesday, May 6, 2014 @ 0900 CDT: Sorry for the relative lack of updates yesterday... Since we still didn't have anything to chase, we headed back to OKC and went to the Oklahoma City Zoo. That's a really nice zoo, too! Then we headed out for a Cinco de Mayo dinner at, of all places, the Olive Garden??? Italian food and... TEQUILA!!! (See a whole bunch of photos HERE.)

Anyway, the bad news for the day was finding out that John's vehicle was NOT ready -- unable to find the part anywhere in the state of Oklahoma -- so we won't be able to get it until tomorrow or Thursday. In the meantime, we need to head north for possible chase conditions later this week. We'll just have to make do with what we've got!

So........ as always I will try my best to keep you updated on our progress.

Here's what tomorrow and Thursday are looking like right now:

...and here's yesterday's travel map:

Tuesday, May 6, 2014 @ 1200 CDT: We have departed OKC and are proceeding north, trying to position ourselves for the next few days' chases. We'll probably try to make it to Kansas City for tonight.

Tuesday, May 6, 2014 @ 1300 CDT: U-TURN!!!

The revised Day 2 outlook just came out, and we're now turning around and heading back south. Here's the new probabilistic outlook map:
