W Oklahoma Hot Season Thundershower 08/13/2010


What to do on a very hot (103F) Oklahoma summer afternoon while nursing a very strong case of SDS? How about finding some of nature's own air conditioning. Left Cordell shortly after 5:00 pm and drove toward some very high-based thundershowers in the hopes of finding some gustnadoes in the outflow. Didn't find those, but I did find a big temperature drop (down to 71F); some brief, heavy rain; pea-sized hail and gusty winds. And a few pretty loud cracks of thunder! CGs were few but very hot!

Here are a few pics from E of Carter, OK:
