Dry line storms form where dry air meets moist air, creating conditions favorable for severe weather including tornadoes; meteorologists analyze storm base height, moisture availability, and upper wind shear to predict storm intensity and potential tornado formation, with lower-based storms having better moisture and higher tornado potential.

>> Oh, man. That look good. Well, I'll just go east on the county road then.
>> Hey.
>> Oh, wait a minute. We're not on the right road, are we? One sec.
>> Oh, yeah. We got to go. Yeah. East on the Cby road and then south.
>> He's going to pull him over.

Make sure you do 3 seconds.
What does it have? Yeah. This is the road that we we used for the thingy >> for the uh airplanes.
>> Oh yeah.
>> Oh yes.
>> Wow. Look at the one to the north.
>> Jesus.
Eyes right when you um eyes right when you turn. That's the Elk City Storm to the north. Wow.
>> Wow.
Deary me. That is a stellar.
>> Huge.
>> Beautiful, isn't it?
>> Yeah.
>> Oh, jeez. Little one to the south there as well.
>> Got to have a good had a good look today, guys. Guys, from our friends at Sue Nature's Fury, guys. Someone spotted me on uh Ryan Schaw's feed. Put it in the shop.
Brilliant.
>> Come on, dude. Get out the road.
There is some beautiful structures around here today.
No rainy boats coming that way. There's nothing coming that way.
Oh, we bugger. Just went east a bit there.
It's a long way into this bloody road, isn't it?
>> It's a male.
>> You get a picture of that one, Mike. Did you?
>> Yeah, just before. Yeah.
>> And that one as well.
>> That's below a bit.
>> Jeez.
Just got to pick the right road here.
It's either going to be the 287 on 162 today.
Got a bit of rotation that went up there.
>> Sure.
>> Quite near El City.
>> This one's getting a lot of light though.
So that's why you always sit that far back from the dry line so that you can then >> um something will kind of go and then you can attack it.
>> 283 south coming up.
>> Yeah, that's the one just down to where Elmer was rabbits there.
Don't. That's where Tommy hit the thingy. Was it deer?
>> Ouch.
>> Going. If Tom, if you're watching, we're going to your bridge where you clipped a deer.
>> Ben's watching.
>> Who?
>> Ben.
>> Ed Sheeran.
Oh, I'm not ginger.
Strawberry blonde.
watching.
>> Yeah.
>> Off the clock.
Is this 30? No, no, no.
What's up?
You want a healthy snack?
>> See, you're pushing it on me, aren't you?
>> Well, I wanted one. I weren't going to go downhill on my own. I thought I'll take you with me.
Tom said, "Bloody dear."
And Ben called you a tit.
>> Thanks, Ben.
Thanks, Mick Hutnell.
So, hopefully on the stream you can see the dryline storms. We're heading south towards uh Elma and the Red River. And you got a dry line storm just off to the front right of the road. There's another one just off the camera to the right behind us. But the Elk City storm looks like a nuclear bomb has gone off. Um but we believe that the better moisture and better chances backed winds is down further south along the Red River today.
So we will go and have a look at it.
>> You can't help it.
>> I know.
>> Some nice lightning on this already.
Showing proper dry line day. misses.
>> Yeah, >> I miss the trees of Mississippi.
It's all lies.
>> It's all lies. Only thing Mississippi had in the ground was moisture.
>> Yeah.
>> Where is desert here?
>> Not going to lie. I don't That That must be the one with the lightning surely.
>> Yeah, cuz that one looks very washed out there.
This one probably looks better actually.
Let's try and get a visual. One. Two.
>> That one. That one's probably the one with the special weather statement on there.
>> Yeah.
>> Which doesn't look good.
>> No, it doesn't.
>> This one looks uh healthier, but The one way down the front is the one south of Chili Coffee. Hotel in the road turtle.
And if they're the bases, my word, they're high.
My word.
Not seeing anything further than that. So that's New York.
Big gap in the middle there. Wellington.
So west of us is that one.
That is the special weather stable one which is really struggling.
Uh that one is the one south of corner and that one down there is straight south.
So we need to stop in the next four four to five miles.
on a county road and then just see how this evolves.
Don't want to commit to one or the other one yet cuz we keep the five in play which goes across to Tipton or we go down and drop in to Vernon.
Bases to the moon.
Bases to Got the full crew in now. Ben, Sandra, Tom, Lucy.
When you say Ben, you mean Prince Harry.
>> Prince Harry sorry Ed Sheeran.
>> Got Bruce.
>> All up on a Saturday night. Oh, >> very early start tomorrow, guys. Looking like initiations are um between 12 and 2 in the afternoon. So, it's going to be 6 to 7 8:00 p.m. your time. So, if you're not watching Songs of Praise, please check in.
>> Suppose on a Sunday night, I'll be ready for getting ready for work in the morning. So, an early start will be good.
Think of everything.
chest on the triple.
We are within 15 miles of the great man himself.
>> Who's that?
>> Not Pete. Not Reed Timmer.
>> Oh, okay. Before >> he can walk.
Tell you what, you know what really worries me here is the upper winds. Look at that. Looks beautiful, but where's where's the upper shear that pushing it over?
>> Yeah, I thought it's not.
>> There's no upper winds, is there?
>> Which is probably going to make them rain on themselves. The ones behind have got a little bit more tilt, so they're probably closer to the uh to the better for up there, which is why they're um going there. They're all severe up there and ours are not interesting.
So that's
