7/11 chase aftn update

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 3:25 pm

3:20pm CDT. Sitting along the highway 26 corridor near the
nebraska/wyoming border. There are some cumulus and perhaps an
attempt at baby towers to my south…there is a subtle wind
convergence axis that had just developed (sse winds versus ese winds
to the south of Scottsbluff). I am watching that to my south…as
well as the area to my farther northwest in the Guernsey, WY area
where the RUC continues to indicate convective precip breaking out
there…and there is some weak convergence noted there as well…with
Douglas having a light southwest wind ad a 44 dewpoint. Will the best
storm actually form off the laramie mountains or from surface
convergence? I think where I am stationed at is a good middle ground.
Farther south, however, the shear is weaker, so I have to keep that
in mind. Will keep waiting right around here.
