I ended up around the warm front/outflow boundary area in SE Nebraska. After spending a few hours waiting for things to heat up and enjoying the KS/NE countryside. I ended up east of Beatrice watching the cumulus fields develop. After blowing off some mushy cumulus that were struggling, I kept trying to figure out the setup. Eventually, I realized that the unorganized clump of cumulus I passed up was starting to get it's act together so with a little catching up I got back in position for what turned out to be a pretty nice evening of supercells/severe weather.
Did a little house shopping while out today:
Here's where all that waiting around is worth it:
Here's where it came close to tornadoing in my opinion:
I tried to beat the original storm to a paved road but got caught in some big hail so I turned around and opted to
get behind and catch up to the storm. The storm was splitting during this time so I realized that heading south was a good option:
Although there were clear areas of rotation and the storm went tor warned the closest thing I saw was a funnel looking thing after dark in the MO hillside. This was by far the best chase so far for me this year and look forward to more.
