I was going to put this under a new post called "wimpiest tornadoes," but here goes. I had some "bid-ness" in San Francisco, CA, but then did an efficient & timely drive out to near Nickerson, KS. I met up with Mikey Gribble by chance while a low-precipitation cell was getting its act together. He's been chasing for a Wichita station for a couple of decades now.
This storm was moisture-starved from convection further south towards north-central TX, but it dropped several funnels at close range. Another chaser commented about the lack of rain & hail at that time of the photos. It soon developed a rotating miasma of dust that Sean Casey and other chasers drove into before it transitioned to a rainier, classic supercell as it pressed on.
