Always a precursor to the tornado season. We have had the smell of smoke here in OK also. I guess you'll be chasing storms tomorrow, and so will I. Almost a backyard chase for me coming up.

@Torn80cj Yep, heading up to OK this evening. One thing is certain, when there are tornadoes in eastern OK, there is a dust storm in West Texas! (and sometimes the fires!)
