Hands-on Forecast: 23 March 2019



It's March 23, 2019, and you have to assemble a forecast that gives a national overview highlighting any interesting large scale systems, as well as a specific forecast for that afternoon and evening for the Oklahoma City area. The radar is down, the model data is missing, but you do have some short loops ABI data from 18-20:37 UTC that day, CAPE, and an experimental daytime cloud phase distinction RGB (you can find a description of it here).

What is the short term forecast for Oklahoma City? Anything else happening across the country that might be worth of note?
