Afternoon update 6/17

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 3:07 pm

We were sitting in McCook and have repositioned north of town to get a
good view of the sky and monitor data. Incredible moisture for this
far northwest — 72 dewpoint in McCook!! (For a surface-based CAPE of
about 5,000 J/kg!) It is unusual to get lower 70s dewpoints into
southwestern Nebraska. A nice cumulus field has developed and we are
expecting aggressive convective development in a matter of an hour or
two not far from here.
