CHASE UPDATE 6:45 PM MDT
We crossed the Sask./Alberta border on Trans. CanadaHighway 1 and notice d the winds had shifted from east to southwest, indicating a sfc low had de veloped off to our north. Based on this,and the look of the cloud field, we took Highway 41 north out of Medicine Hat, AB and watced Cu become tower s and then several huge Cb in a matter of minutes. Currently racing toward Oyen to intercept what, from the distance, looks to be a raging supercell. Current temp 86F with a dewpoint of 67F. Pretty amazing for the interior of eastern Alberta. With the lead wave aloft just now coming in from the sout hwest, we are very hopefully about this intercept in the next 45 minutes. B OOKBINDER
