Today played out pretty much as we expected this morning, targeting north
central Kansas once again (High Plains Magic will have to wait one more
day). After checking out a few storms along highway 24 (including ping pong
ball hail near our favorite town of Osborne), we got on an HP supercell just
north of Beloit. This storm served up some amazing structure, including one
of the most aqua green skies I’ve ever seen, and filled with cloud to ground
lightning. It made several attempts at wrapping up, but after clearly
becoming outflow dominant we dropped south for some distant shelf/structure
shots before letting the bow echo overtake us. Additional upstream elevated
storms provided a great lightning show well into the evening, but the
flooding is getting quite bad across this region back toward Concordia. We
are headed toward York and I-80, ready to bust west for tomorrow’s show.

Great work today! I was going to go out but figured E Colo. was going to stay capped and it did for the most part. Heading north tomorrow, maybe we will cross paths! Cant wait to see the photos Mike.
