I left Norman with a target in Southwest Oklahoma. I ended up near Eldorado to drive on some of the roads I went down on May 23rd. I ended up watching storms try to go up and struggle.

As you can see below, we had some warm 700mb temps which seemingly hurt storm development
After the storm near Hollis started dying off, I called it and headed home the scenic route.
