I left Dodge City early this morning and am typing currently (12:15pm)
from North Platte. The target is fairly straight forward… play the
edge of the cap where lower 60s dewpoints exist just ahead of the
front. This is the Nebraska Sandhills northwest and north of North
Platte. It’s no-road network territory, but good visibility and great
terrain/landscape means that as a photographer, it’s not required to
be up close and personal to the storm(s). Storm motions should be
very manageable to the northeast around 20-25 mph. I will stay in
North Platte after this evening’s chase… then back to Dodge City
tomorrow. I will be driving Jon Smith and Rob Mitchell back with me
to Dodge so Jon can get his car that he dropped off at my house…
while Mitch and his wife Candice head back to Houston (they were
chasing in Mitch’s car this past week). More later as time permits.

Hey Mike,
Good luck chasing this weekend. I enjoyed meeting you in Dodge City last week with Jim’s group. Unfortunately we are headed back to Oklahoma City and I fly home tomorrow. We saw the Bowdle and Faith storms last week and I’m hooked.
Mike
