TCU currently exploding SSE of Beatrice, tough call rather to chase this stuff East or setup for development about to occur further West....

According to mesoanalysis, the effective shear is better to the east. Most of Nebraska is below the guideline minimum 6km shear value for maintaining supercells. I'm not sure how this is forecast to change as the day progresses, but it seems cells to the east would be favored for now.
We stopped to eat in York and discovered the Vortex 2 crew at the local Wal Mart. Folks treat them like rock stars taking their pictures and such, especially the TIV crew (least scientific of the bunch). We were thinking about moving west as it just doesn't seem hot enough here. The sky has pretty much cleared except for some high cirrus clouds and the temperature has jumped up a few degrees, but it's still only 80. Yesterday we got antsy and left Bellevue, so we're having a hard time deciding what to do today. Might head west to Hastings if this doesn't warm up more here in York. The Skew Ts looks better a few miles west of here say like Hastings or Kearney (FYI).

scattered storms are starting to pop in the northeast corner of kansas...actually sitting in hastings right now waiting for something to catch my eye.

I'm sitting in Hebron right now and it looks like a TCU is trying to go up south and slightly west of here. I'm going to go down Hwy 81 and see what's going on.

Rock solid tops, but to many of them. Two main problems today are already evident visually, to many training cells, and weak flow/shear, things are not leaning over at all...

On the last couple of scans on High Res radar for NE, you can clearly see the two boundaries (outflow and cold/stationary front) approaching each other. When they meet there is going to be some serious mechanical lift. Looks like Hwy 281 might be a good place to be, maybe just north of Red Cloud.

Yeah we are heading toward Red Cloud right now via Alma. It's pretty sunny right now but I guess this could happen...
We are en route to check out the warned storm directly west of Concordia and if it isn't worth much we'll probably head up to Red Cloud. Most everything down here visually looks like rainstorms that will eventually train into one big messy line. There's quite a bit of CG right now just east of Highway 81 though.

We just arrived in Red Cloud and are inclined to sit and wait to see if some of these storms are going to move this far NW before we make a decision about the rest of the day. We'll see...
