Location: Oklahoma Panhandle from Forgan to Guymon, OK

Shoot Type: Storm Chase

Synopsis:
This was another after work chase. I set out to intercept storms that first developed east of Liberal...hoping for an intercept near the OK-KS border south of Meade State Park. I did not get into the inflow sector of this storm before it crossed Hwy 23...and I received some quarter size hail on the north side of the storm as it passed just south of me. I let this storm go as it was moving into a more stable airmass...opting for new development back to the west and northwest. An isolated storm formed north of Guymon and I decided to intercept this storm. By the time I reached it, though, it was on a downhill trend. I wanted to get on the backside of the storm to capture anything photogenic with the lowering sun angle. I did manage to capture a nice full rainbow with remnant precipitation shaft and small cumulonimbus cloud above it. That was pretty much it for this chase.
