@EjHass @MatthewCappucci Yeah this sounding was in Duncan, OK early before there was much surface heating (hours before CI). Clouds cleared up right after there and temperatures soared, so I’m sure the cap eroded away.

Views from my drive back to CStat from Norman today, where I followed closely behind the cold front. First saw the tops of storms over 100mi away on i35, then made it back just in time to see beautiful initiation around Houston. #txwx

@_ClimateCraze @SLDelta45 @NWSMelbourne Just surprised because there was no launch around that time

Hi @SLDelta45 @NWSMelbourne , went on some radiosonde hunting today and was able to get 1/5 ones I searched for (trees/private property for the rest). Wondering why the 11+ balloon launches within 12hrs from the 45th Weather Squadron? Thanks!

It's no secret that apart from the Barnsdall, OK supercell, most of the well-established storms yesterday struggled to develop low-level mesocyclones and produce tornadoes as a result.

However, when comparing yesterday's forecast soundings to the more than 300+ soundings from...
