4/28 chase day complete

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 9:01 pm

Success! first supercell intercept of the chase trip and season for
me. Isolated supercell developed fairly late northeast of North
Platte. It was a struggle to get decent images since the storm was
hauling ass plus the inflow sector of the storm had a lot of non
convective mid level cloud crap obscuring the best structure. Did get
a couple distant lightning images at the end as the storm was
weakening near Brewster. This was a success for sure, and it appears
I was the only one on the storm, at least chaser that beacons through
Spotter Network. I’ll head down to Kearney for the night. Still
unsure what I’ll target tomorrow, after talking with Matt Crowther on
the phone earlier, I was starting to about playing northwest Iowa and
then Illinois of all places Friday… but the North Texas scenario
Friday still has me intrigued, so I will likely play the late show
dryline/cold front intersection somewhere in Central/South Central
Kansas. More on that tomorrow morning. Goodnight!
