For all those who do not know, you post your reports/recollections/description of your chase in a REPORTS thread. At least that's how its been since 2005 as far as I know.
Nothing too great to share about today's chase for me I'm sure some Tulsa area guys have got some good stuff.
I changed my target from Emporia, KS to Arkansas City, KS this morning after seeing RAP and HRRR shunt any semblance of backing winds down to the oklahoma border. I got to Cowley county about 130pm and boom a bunch of pre-dryline (just barely) storms went up and actually didnt look too bad on radar at first so I jumped on a cell near Burden, KS and followed it to Moline, KS before it went elongated and outflow dominant (never looked too great to begin with). saw the Osage county Tornado warned storm only about 40 miles south of me but just didnt want to mess with that county at all, or any part of NE Oklahoma to be honest so left when the KS storms shitted out (about 5pm).
I already do not enjoy chasing Elk and Chautauqua counties in KS, and Osage county OK is a whole new level of awful.
Could've made it to the more prolific storms in NE OK if id gone for em but honestly I took one look at my Oklahoma topographical (yes I use real maps) and decided it would be more of a headache than it was worth.
Kinda wish I woulda given it a shot at this point even though it woulda meant an even later bed time lol.
Here is one look at the Burden-Moline storm. would breifly/periodically drop a small wall cloud from the base but I was always re-positioning driving away from it when it would
