I am currently dealing with a flat tire, north west of Salina. Fortunately, I am on a paved Road. So, I will have to change out the flat after this storm passes by me because I will not have enough time before it hits. So, it will be a bumpy ride here for the next half hour to 45 minutes or however long it takes for the storm to move through. The joys of storm chasing. More later.

Time, 9:05 PM. As you can see, I finally got storms developing. Severe storms along a line. Even though it’s a line, the structure is pretty good with abundant lightning. Pretty good. I will follow this at least for the next hour, and we’ll see where it goes after that. More later.

Time 7:15pm. Well it would certainly appear that I have screwed the
pooch on this day. There appears to be a nice developing supercell
northeast of Concordia near the NE/KS border…which is where most
storm chasers targeted. Me, I like to be a little risky, and playing
south was a risky move, but it didn’t look overly “hot” in the mid
levels and as such, thought at least one storm would develop along the
dryline. Well, what ended up developing along the dryline was a bunch
of high-based virga. More damn virga. Sometimes a decent storm can
be born from initially a field of virga showers… but that’s usually
a High Plains thing. At any rate, I’ll wander about Hwy 156 corridor
between Ellsworth and Great Bend until it’s obvious I’ve really messed
this one up… at sundown.

Time, 3:51 PM. All along, I was hoping to play Tail End Charlie the southern __ storm of this event today. And there is aggressive tiring cumulus to the south, there, St. John and Pratt down in that area. The stuff, north east of [Hoistenton?] will not be tailed in in my opinion. So, I will head south from great bend into Stafford County probably.

Time is 3:30 PM. I’m heading to the east toward Hoisington. Towering cumulus to the east northeast is fairly aggressive. This will be my first target, these towers just to the east of Hoisington. More later.
