…Staging Target Concordia KS by 5 PM…

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 3:48 pm

Heat/instability axis continues to nose through KS =
with an
absolute sauna out there (mid 90s temps, around 70 dewpoints). Winds =
have
surprisingly remained relatively backed along and just east of the US81
corridor with near due south flow observed.  We continue to like =
the
prospects between Concordia KS and Superior NE where we hope a =
slow-moving tail
end supercell will develop, and be aided by the left exit region of a =
secondary
upper jet max coming into the southern Plains over the next 3-4 hours. A
surface heat low to the west should maintain enough backing to the low =
level
flow to yield great hodograph structure toward late afternoon into the =
early
evening. At this point we head to Concordia for a late lunch and hope =
patience
and thinking “outside the box” pays off. Good luck to all =
those up
in the Great North! – Evan
