Synopsis:
This was a frustrating storm chase. I joined Matt Crowther at Ogallala and we headed to Big Springs where weak storms were trying to initiate. We followed these north all the way to Hyannis, always staying behind the main storm as the storms were racing off to the north at around 45-50mph. Matt and his chase partner broke off and headed back, concluding the chase, but I continued on stubbornly...all the way to Merriman along Hwy 20. I managed to catch a few images of low rolling stratus clouds in filtered sunlight over some sandhills landscape, but that was about it. I got caught in the low stratus and fog on Hwy 20, and dropped back south to Thedford later on in the evening just after sunset.
