It was a very interesting day. We (Kurt Hulst and I) just got to a hotel in Mt. Vernon, IL....after chasing for a long time, constantly having to race ahead of the precip core of a severe warned cell near the KY/TN border in south central KY. The storm exhibited rotation at times, and even had mid/upper level striations. There were numerous suspicious lowerings, that lasted a while, and then disappeared quickly, after getting undercut....It definatly was some sort of supercell..likely an embedded one...there was some wierd funnel to, that looked like a broad condensed funnel, but nothing is for sure...it was hard to tell, since it was night.
Today, we're driving all day and possibly night to Rapid City, SD....and going to chase from there, and possibly into MT/ SW ND....
