With a group of high school students visiting from Windom, MN, we opted to head northwest, with the potential for supercells. Long story short -- drove to Woodward, at which time it was obvious initiation was not going to occur anywhere close. Visible satellite imagery showed clear skies, with shallow moisture and a cap preventing much in the way of anything notable. We spent about 15 minutes in Woodward before driving back to OUN. Clear sky bustola.
