Chase Case #6 (2010 Version)

[Rocky Watson]

Been chasing here around home, Greensburg KS today so for the evening I will roll over to Lebanon MO for the night and stay with a buddy and be ready to roll first thing.

 

[Jeremy Perez]

Making arrangements to extend my trip to the NCRAL in Green Bay and will drive down to Davenport, IA for the night.

 

[Jeff Duda]

Given the movement of this system, I'd be staying home in Ames, IA for the night, waiting to see 12Z data before making my first move. For all I know, IA is well in the mix (unless, of course, this is a 2009 or 2010 case).

 

[Joshua Nall]

I picked a hotel on I-55 at West Memphis, with the option of heading up towards St. Louis. I'm assuming I'm wrong now, based on everyone's targets, but it looked to me like things were going to make it further east. May have to drive all day tomorrow.

 

[Ben Tillotson]

I'll stay in Omaha, NE for the night.

 

[ChristianTerry]

Staying the night in Kansas City, MO.

 

[Mark Farnik]

I'm going to crash at my aunt and uncle's place in Lincoln, NE for the evening, which gives me plenty of options in any direction. To quote George Burns, 'Good night, and good luck.'

 

[Jesse Risley]

Guten Morgen virtual chasers!

[Wes Carter]

I'm late on this, so I'm just going to ride up to Paducah, KY for now and keep an eye on things.

 

[Danny Neal]

Centerville, IA by 1730z

 

[ChristianTerry]

Way to far east right now. Moving fast to Louisville, KY.

 

[Scott Hammel]

I'm going to drift E out of Omaha and slightly N to Ames, IA. The low has moved N as anticipated and I like seeing moisture starting to advect in that direction. Winds are starting to back in the E. Should be an interesting day. Get on those cells early before they congeal into a mess later...

 

[Andy Jackson]

Put me in Bethany, MO coming from KC. I like the morning skew-t from Topeka, but still very early.

 

[Ben Tillotson]

I'll go a bit east of Omaha to Atlantic, IA.

 

[Verne Carlson]

After the 13z data I am heading from Wichita, KS to Kansas City, KS and will reposition after the next data set.
