Chase Case #4 (2010 Version)

[Skip Talbot]

Yay, a PDS tornado watch... well I'm doomed to bust now. I'm going to take 70 west out of Wichita and head up 81 to Hebron, NE and wait for that line of cu over south central Nebraska to initiate.

 

[Verne Carlson]

I like where I'm sitting in Concordia, KS for now. Keeping an eye on the development near Hutchinson. Not moving on anything yet.

 

[Marcus Diaz]

Going to play in central OK for today, maybe souther KS. Dryline is buldging to the south though, so I'm definately going to stay close to that. Even though the winds aren't quite backed from the SE yet, I still like the ample moisture. Going to scoot over to Stillwater, OK to await initiation, which should be anytime soon now.

 

[Tom Dulong]

I think I am in good shape here in Beatrice, NE. Moisture and low level shear could be better, but stronger upper dynamis should move out over this area by late afternoon/early evening. Cu developing off to the west-southwest of my position not too far ahead of the triple point. This will probably be my play.

Of course, I can always shoot south into northeast KS if a storm ahead of the dry line bulge catches my eye

 

[Alec.Jones]

Staying Put and grabbing a bite to eat at McAlisters In Manhattan, KS Ready to go at anytime.

 

[Damon Scott Hynes]

I think I'm going to drive--slowly--to Abilene, KS. I don't want to be stuck dodging traffic lights trying to go north through Manhattan. I agree with Nick, staying all day in Salina will test a man's patience

 

[CZandbergen]

Staying put in Auburn, NE.

[Skip Talbot]

I'm kiddie corner to that cell in Jewell County, KS... I'm going to drop down 81 to 36 west on hope that cell. Hopefully the Salina storm won't interfere.

 

[Randall Cooper]

Im out, I recognize the day.

 

[Nick Nolte]

Since I was chillin' in Salina, I'm tracking that storm that fired overhead, getting ready to fire probes.

 

[Damon Scott Hynes]

I feel good about my day so far. Got to Abilene and was a corepunching machine from north of Salina to near Clay Center. Still lotsa daylight left, too.

 

[Marcus Diaz]

In full chase mode! Hopefully I got a glimpse of that brief tornado in Osage County. Currently on this beast of a storm in Osage county. These storms are RACING fast, so I might quickly bail on this storm once that storm near Chandler, OK matures.

 

[David Wolfson]

Surface data, satellite, outflow from KS storms, and approaching forcing all suggest that far southwest IA is about to blow also. Am heading southwest from Adair to Villesca, IA, at 22Z.

 

[Dennis Dennison]

Running North on 135 hope to see something, but probably missed it
