As I was driving home to Illinois from the previous day's chase in southeast Nebraska, I ended up chasing a SVR-warned but not terribly impressive storm for a couple of hours in north-central Missouri. Around noon I was headed east on U.S. 36 near Brookfield, MO when a narrow line of showers triggered by the advancing cold front began to intensify a bit near Trenton. I headed north on MO-5, hoping to intercept the now SVR-warned storm near Milan. I took this shot from the top of a hill a few miles north of Milan. The view is to the southwest:
I continued east on MO-6 and then north on MO-129. The cell was beginning to look a bit HPish, but it did briefly sport a good-looking, non-rotating wall cloud while I was south of Unionville. The view in the first picture is to the north. The second shot looks east:
I fell behind the storm on U.S. 136 as it moved northeast into Iowa. It looked pretty unorganized, so I gave up on it in Lancaster and continued back home. Other chasers played around with it in southeastern Iowa - and a set of more robust supercells - that fired in that area later in the afternoon.
