Chase Case #2

[Chad Cowan]

21z Update

 

[Joel Wright]

After seeing the 21z update I'll be departing Clinton Oklahoma and head west to Erick Oklahoma. New convection looks to be firing in the eastern TX panhandle.

 

[Danny Neal]

I am in Belleville it is 21Z, based on the new out look I am heading to Geneva, NE. It is 50 miles away, so I can make it there by 22Z. I see an agitated mass of Cu in N KS so the dryline maybe ready to go. No watch out yet, but I expect one shortly.

 

[Robert Edmonds]

I'm still sitting tight in Phillipsburg... I think a watch box is still coming to the area.

 

[Michael O'Keeffe]

We were just west of Hastings and it appears the dryline has just pasted Kearney a bit so we will head back to Hastings and wait there. We can see some cu to our S closer to the KS/NE border, but we will be patient in Hastings.

 

[John Farley]

I'm happy where I am in Nebraska City. Satellite and radar suggest stuff trying to fire just to my NW, and with a little back building once they get going, I could be in the perfect spot. I also could be too far south, but if so, I can blast north on 29 and catch the storms as they cross into Iowa.

 

[Chris Lott]

I'm staying in McPherson,KS. I wish I stayed in OK, but I have already made the drive and it's too late to head back. I'm staying where I'm at and will make a play off of what develops, if it's close enough. Looks like a cell going up on the KS/NE border. I'm looking for development SW of that to move my way. Still hoping for a cell to come off the dryline and move in my direction.

 

[Verne Carlson]

Holding tight in Kearney, NE - CU field to my northeast and initiation going on in northcentral KS. Waiting to see which way to go.

 

[Brian Stertz]

Looks like I need to be just a tad north so will head into Grand Island for a pre chase bite to eat. Love the 50 kts. of deep layer shear and strong directional shear in LL. Think this may be a fruitful chase.

 

[Connor McCrorey]

I am leaving Blackwell, OK, and heading to Vici, OK. I should get there just before 0z.

 

[Jeff Duda]

Staying in Columbus, NE

 

[scott r currens]

I'm making the 4-hour drive from Childress, TX to Dodge City, KS.

Target: Dodge City, KS at 22z

With the stuff going up in the E TX PHL I have holted my progress north at 21z in Laverne, OK. I'll sit here and watch the TCU to my SW. It is hot and I don't like the tornado prospects in SW KS and W OK because of that. The best shot at a tornado appears to be within an hour of sunset. I should have gone to NE or far SW TX.

 

[Michael P. Morris]

I made it to Beatrice and saw the little blip on the visible satellite on the KS-NE border, hoping that it is the start of something big here around the warm front. It's still a little capped out here, but LCLs should come down a little bit with additional moisture being brought in by the 850 mb flow. If anything appears to break the cap I am well on my way to meet it down 103/136.

 

[Derek Weston]

based on 18z I liked SE Neb to SW IA possibly. (with the option to head SW into N Kansas) Lincoln area would be OK as I'm coming in from Eastern Iowa.

21z confirmed that I had a workable location, will stay here until further notice...

 

[Corey Sloan]

TARGET: Moving from Belleville, KS to near Chester, NE a short drive up Hwy 81. INITIATION: 0Z to 02Z.

Road structure is not optimum, but manageable in all directions from this area.....like what I am seeing on the vis sat as well as the forecasted wind fields and CAPE....sure hope I have Internet connection here in NE to look at SKEW-T Data from the area!
