I am driving west highway 160 in Ulysses Kansas. I’ll stop for a brief lunch, there are towering [chisels?] already developing in south Eastern Colorado, west up Spring Field, already at 12:30PM central daylight time. It could be a long chase day if the storm start developing early afternoon. I will follow storm ceased likely into far south west Kansas or Oklahoma Panhandle, __ later.

Today’s Chase is over. The Chase day was very uneven form the cold front overwhelmed all the could back should and storm structure was marginal at best up there in the Mullen area and the best store of the day was actually farther north near the South Dakota state border, I wish I was up there but, nevertheless stores down here just did not get their acts together and calling in a Chase or later.

South of Mullen nebraska storms developing along cold front

I left Dodge City early this morning and am typing currently (12:15pm)
from North Platte. The target is fairly straight forward… play the
edge of the cap where lower 60s dewpoints exist just ahead of the
front. This is the Nebraska Sandhills northwest and north of North
Platte. It’s no-road network territory, but good visibility and great
terrain/landscape means that as a photographer, it’s not required to
be up close and personal to the storm(s). Storm motions should be
very manageable to the northeast around 20-25 mph. I will stay in
North Platte after this evening’s chase… then back to Dodge City
tomorrow. I will be driving Jon Smith and Rob Mitchell back with me
to Dodge so Jon can get his car that he dropped off at my house…
while Mitch and his wife Candice head back to Houston (they were
chasing in Mitch’s car this past week). More later as time permits.

a change in plans from preivous post, will have dinner here in Colby
with some of the vortex-2 contingent then back to Dodge probably by
1:00am or so. More tornadoes north of Goodland, but I’m tired of
driving and it’s not the best structure from the south, so I’m done
shooting.
