mid-afternoon update 7/9

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 2:40 pm

I am sitting at a rest area along I-80 near Grand Island. I am going
to wait here for awhile I think — there is an outflow boundary just
to my east and northeast which is intersecting the stationary front
north of Grand Island. The best convergence is right around here and
north of here. The cu is not very agitated, although it’s not even
3pm yet, so there is still a lot of time for things to change. My gut
tells me this is going to end up being a cap bust, but the old outflow
boundary is helping enhance convergence, so you never know. It’s
going to go late if it does at all… like 6 or 7 pm probably.

  2. LOL. I purposely avoided the Elm Creek exit on my way up here. A superstition thing I guess!

  3. I’m completely gear-less other than my cell phone but thinking of heading up there since I’m already an hour ahead in terms of position being up at the AWC today. Glad I came in early! Maybe I’ll just follow you since the law of averages is set to even out :P
