Not much to say. Strong low-level shear was present east of a cold front moving eastward through the Plains. Moderate instability and sufficient deep-layer shear yielded an environment that may have been supportive of supercells. In the end, strong linear forcing yielded a marginal squall line across much of the eastern Central Plains. We saw about 30 seconds of good structure near Vinita, but it was, by all accounts, an uneventful chase.
