Pretty awesome gravity waves in central/western Oklahoma. You can also start to see the upper level clouds start to bend more to the north and west as the main upper level low approaches the area and modifies the flow. 

Its going to be interesting to see how this one plays out. The 18z initiation isn't close to ideal, but we'll have to see if things quickly grow and congeal from here on out, despite come capping left in Oklahoma.

Sitting in Watonga, Oklahoma waiting on the show to begin. Easy north and south options, but thinking it will be too messy up by the KS border with convection down in far SW OK trying to grow upscale quickly. Honestly, this doesn't look like a high risk TOR setup right now, but a few tornadoes are likely.

That storm near Gould, OK already has a very large area of inflow.

Everything remaining nicely discrete so far, lets see how long that will last... Baseball sized hail already on this storm.
