I am sitting along Hwy 71 halfway between Harrison and Alliance, NE.
The initial storm I intercepted had a nice look to it, however it
croaked. Apparently, the local shear enviornment here favors LEFT
split supercells, instead of the typical RIGHT member. The LEFT mover
is up near Chadron and looks like a beastie on radar! It’s moving
away from me unfortunately. There is, however, another smaller storm
trying to take shape back to my northwest… a little LP thing, which
will probably die as the sun sets here in the next hour. Did get some
images of the first storm, but it is unfortunate it died not too long
after I got close to it. More later.

Looking northeast

I left the area I was sitting at near CYS for fears of the Wheatland
and northern Goshen county area going up… and there were very nice
attempts at convective initiation… so I bolted north. Now I am in
Wheatland and these attempts to my north were suckers… well at least
for now. I am watching fairly hard towers, the first attempt already
glaciated up in far northern Goshen county. Now, it would appear,
visually, that the area back to my south…closer to where i was
earlier…is starting to tower fairly hard. I will either head
northeast to Ft. Laramie along hwy 26 from this point…or retrace my
steps back south on I-80. Not sure what to do quite frankly, so I’ll
wait it out for a little bit I guess here in Wheatland.
