chase trip update 5/2 4:35pm

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 4:38 pm

I’m currently on a wild goose hunt on what certainly appears to be my
last chase day of this particular trip. I was suckered all the way
north to Norton by the initial convective line. That stuff quickly
turned to crap after showing some hail indicators on radar with some
decent looking Cbs. Since there is uniform CAPE (meager) and shear
pretty much everywhere across this region… and the lack of a
substantial convergence area… I will be making my way back toward
Dodge City… since the convection down there closer to home is about
the same as up here… I can photograph that stuff closer to home…
if there is even anything worth photographing. I will have to get
lucky with golden-hour light around sunset with hopefully more of the
isolated stuff with some sunlight. Ahh well. I gave it a shot I
guess.
