Vince and I have left Winner, SD and are heading west in the general direction of Harrison, NE. We think there will be a halfway decent upslope play today as winds at the surface become increasingly upslope by early evening… drawing low level moisture back northwest a bit. Deep layer shear of 35 knots or so should be enough to sustain supercell structure should severe storms develop. Will go into virtual chase mode sometime early-mid afternoon as we get closer to target.
Outlook: We have decided not to chase Canada Saturday… it is going to be too far north into Canada, like 150 to 200 miles north of the border… and while it looks pretty good for severe weather in that area… it’s just too far away… then we’d have to come right back south the next day. That’s a LOT of driving. Thus, tomorrow we will consider being a down day and head up into Northeast Wyoming for some sightseeing, see Devil’s Tower and do some landscape photography perhaps… Sunday shows some potential in North Dakota.. perhaps along I-94 between Bismark and Dickinson. Stay tuned!
So you are blowing off today?? Hmmmm. US canadian border or across the border inside canada looks
dynamite today. I wouldnt blow it off. Its only 6 hours from there to Sheridan for day 2??
