Late Friday update on chasing prospects
New Mexico Bird Photography Trip (Day 6)
30 November 1999
It looks like I will be heading north into western Nebraska on Sunday. I say "I" loosely, because I will most likely be joined by Rob and Jon and eventually Mitch and Candice. Earlier today the group discussed the possibility of me being the only one heading north toward the western Nebraska target for Sunday-Monday. Since Mitch and Candice are driving u p from Houston, it makes perfect sense that they would have a southern chas e target bias for Sunday and Monday along the dryline centered roughly arou nd the Red River region. Rob and Jon will be starting in Kansas City and Saturday will likely drive down toward Dodge to meet up with me. It app ears likely that Rob and Jon will join me in my Jeep with Jon leaving his v ehicle in Dodge. Meanwhile, Mitch and his wife Candice will probably cha se separate from us Sunday and Monday if Jon and Rob decide to head north i nto Nebraska with me.

I really like western Nebraska both Sunday and even Monday. Monday c ould be an extremely dynamic day over northwestern Nebraska at the nose of the incoming cyclonically-curved jet streak. An east-west axis of CAPE w ill extend all the way back toward Harrison-Chadron, NE on Monday right at the nose of this jet and just north of a deepening 990mb surface low. Af ter Monday's chase, I/we would likely have to bust ass to get back towa rd the dryline for what appears to be a fairly fruitful day along the dryli ne south of the front from central KS all the way into north/central Texas. Tuesday and Wednesday both look like good dryline days. More later.. -Mike U
