Well, storms formed fast this afternoon… with the best initial
storms… and one bonafide supercell off to my east a couple of hours.
I will not pursue these given the fact that I am in an area of
congested development from Phillipsburg to Kirwin… where I am
sitting right now (north side of Kirwin Reservoir). I think a
supercell will emerge out of this cluster…and as it moves east over
the next couple hours…begin to interact with the western edge of the
upper 60s to near 70 dewpoints. Patience is key.. we’ll see what
happens. Hope this works out.

In holdrege early this afternoon. After lunch analysis of data would
seem to suggest the best surface convergence and focus for
surface-based storm development would be a little east-southeast of
Holdrege. 1km vis sat also suggests that I may need to head east a
little bit… toward Hwy 281 corridor between Hastings and Red Cloud.
This is where the RUC and HRRR is fairly aggressive at developing
storms by 22z or so, which makes sense. More later

This chase is not heading out how I had hoped. I had abandoned the Sand Hills area, and heading back south. There are too many storms developing now. At this point I just hope for some decent lightning or something around sunset which is coming up here in about an hour. Again, this is not turning out how I would hoped. But never the less, there’s storms onto the west. Maybe I’ll get some lightning and do not do this in the future, some marginal storm structure or something. There’s a lot of weak storms at this point. More later.

Looks like I am heading for the hills, Sand Hills that is. Dealing with left moving dominant storms, and I’m going to drive towards Lincoln county and try to get some storm photography near sunset as a storm’s approached Sand Hills. More later.
