massive HP supercell, did not see the tornado near Macksville

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 6:25 pm

early evening update… some amazing colors and structure with the HP
supercell we are chasing. Unfortunately, we were in blast-east most
when the tornado was occurring to our northwest, and we were not due
east of it and closer to see it. We did see a laminar cone=-shaped
lowering/wall cloud back in the wet occlusion, but we were unable to
confirm anything. It will be interesting to see other chasers’
images/video of this since we were not positioned well to see the
tornado. We are repositioning south toward Pratt area to catch new
development on the south flank.
