Forecast:
Vince and I have left Kearney, NE and are targetting an area near Merriman, NE to Pine Ridge, SD… near the SD/NE border. A subtle upper level jet streak will be interacting with greater than 3000 J/kg CAPE in this area where surface wind convergence will be maximized. Mid 60s dewpoints in this area is very promising, regardless the time of year… we should be in Merriman area by 4pm CDT. I’ve got the website on chase mode, but in the Nebraska Sand Hills — in the middle of nowhere — cell coverage will be sporadic, so expect in-frequent updates… I’ve never chased in this area with my Alltel card before..
Chief,
Looking at the HCRs in radar data + surface obs, I’d say you’re looking in the right area even though there’s no clouds yet. SW Cherry county is my guess as of 2PM. There’s actually evidence of a low level meso-low in the level 2 data in that area. Can’t beat 11020G26 and 84/66 at thedford!
Good luck. Call me if you need anything.
