Sitting a couple miles se of Ford, Ks watching and waiting. Can see the dryline to my west have to say not optimistic at this point. Another cell is trying to get going north of Dodge city but it to can't seem to really take off. Going to head back to ict if nothing fires by 8pm.

Edit- while waiting on a dirt road just of 400 a local on an ATV rolls up and informs us we got a flat. Limping back to Wichita. Epic bust for me

The dryline is right on top of Cimarron, KS ATTM and an impulse wave of some sort looks to be moving rapidly towards it from just west of Garden City.

I got to watch the HP monster that went through Kane & Mchenry counties in IL. The WRF checked out for once. lol

This is the same cell I was on. It dropped a ton of small hail, but nothing in the way if any base features worth noting.

Storms going up sw Ks? Can see towers shadowing in the distance.

 

[Drew.Gardonia]

there were some towers going up off the dryline when we came out Applebee's in Dodge City at 8:15, but they flattened out on the top pretty quickly and died off. it was pretty much like that all day. They'd go up, then die out as if they were hitting some sort of invisible wall.

Yeah I took some pictures of them against the sunset just east of Dighton. They were flattening out real fast. That lonely cell that fired near Dodge/Jetmore was all we got, and even that had a craptacular ending.

Some nice nocturnal supercells exploding on the SW border of TX right now. ~4:00am CST
