06/03/06 FCST: ND / SD / NE

[Tim Marshall]

TARGET: VALENTINE, NE TIME OF DEPARTURE: 10 AM. Drove from Denver, CO to Spearfish, SD yesterday in anticipation of today and was treated to two picturesque supercells over the Black Hills last evening. Today, a short wave is progged to romp over the ridge and fire storms along a frontal boundary in the Dakotas. These storms should move southeast into Nebraska later today. I like the low-level turning (SE winds at SFC with NW winds aloft) but there is a lack of ample moisture. So, I expect more starved storms today. Hope they can make it off the Black Hills. This is the last day of my chase vacation. A long drive back to Dallas tomorrow. TM

Well, Tim, may be we'll meet on the raod. Chris and I are in Pierre, SD, prparing to make a slow southerly trip to the Valentine area, too. I think the moisture will be okay..takes less of it up here than we're used to down home. Otherwise, you're heading the same place we are, for the same reasons. Good luck, Tim, and all who chase today...
