7/10 in-situ update

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 8:09 pm

I am sitting along Hwy 71 halfway between Harrison and Alliance, NE.
The initial storm I intercepted had a nice look to it, however it
croaked. Apparently, the local shear enviornment here favors LEFT
split supercells, instead of the typical RIGHT member. The LEFT mover
is up near Chadron and looks like a beastie on radar! It’s moving
away from me unfortunately. There is, however, another smaller storm
trying to take shape back to my northwest… a little LP thing, which
will probably die as the sun sets here in the next hour. Did get some
images of the first storm, but it is unfortunate it died not too long
after I got close to it. More later.
