Chased near Culbertson, Nebraska today (just west of McCook). Thanks to Cory Schuller for great nowcasting. Since I was flying blind with only cell phone (no internet) and ham radio, Cory navigated me to the only severe warned storm of the day in Nebraska.The storms seemed to pulse. Came up over a hill to see two cars that had collided only moments earlier. They were going full speed when the hail core passed over highway 6. One car slid into the other. Fortunately no one was injured. I stayed until the sheriff arrived. Hail was dime to quarter sized.

I tracked three, marginally severe supercells along Rt. 277 between Munday-Seymour-Mabelle, TX today. The storms traveled along an old outflow boundary, but were not tornadic. Wall clouds had weak rotation and there were lots of CGs in the FFDs. Storms had problems with too much rain-cooled air and kept seeding downwind cells.

I drove about 500 miles roundtrip from Norman to see the supercells near Seymour, TX.

Not a terrible chase for October. James Langford, Zack Biggs, and I chased the cells in Baylor county. Met Ric Burney and Shane Adams, real nice guys and saw some nice structure.

I chased in southwest Kansas with Scott Hammel. We followed a weak supercell that at a few brief wall clouds, a funnel, and possibly (as previously discussed) some sort of tornadic ground circulation early in its life cycle.

Anyway, full report with a ton of pictures and some radar imagery can be found here:
