We are heading to Lawrence now

You can follow us on the Chase Mode page back to Larrytown. You
shouldn’t miss us, we are “MissedTheShow” on SpotterNetwork for the
remainder of the night.. LOL

A bust for the ages: This one hurts

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 9:20 pm

This clearly goes down as one of the worst in-situ tactical busts ever
for me. But wow does it look amazing from behind!

You’re all probably watching spotter network wondering what the F*
we’re doing on this junk storm (SE of Loup City) northwest of the show
(Kearney to Grand Island). I’m trying to answer myself that same
question. Clearly the last two days of storm chasing haven’t been
fraught with good decisions. Intuition has led me astray two days in a
row. Pretty much sucks. Hope the rest of you are enjoying this that
are ~ 50 miles ESE of us.

chose poorly once again

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 8:01 pm

We decided to chase the western storm that developed instead of the
Kearney tornadic supercell. It was a tail-end charlie storm, however
it became undercut by the Kearney storm’s outflow boundary. I’m on a
streak here of poor decision making both in terms of regional
targeting and in-situ storm targeting. That’s the way it goes
sometimes, though. We will head south toward Kearney and east on I-80
to catch the backside of the tornadic supercell now near Grand Island,
but we aren’t expecting anything given we are sorely out of position.

chase is on!

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 6:35 pm

We had a tough decision to make… continue east toward the Kearney
storm or go north at Elm Creek and intercept a brand new storm north
of Cozad. The new storm north of Cozad has some incredible
razor-sharp convection on the backside and this is the tail-end
charlie storm. So we are heading north for the intercept of this one.
More later!
