Chase Case #6

[Michael P. Morris]

If this were a real chase, my timeline would have put me in Hill City at about 20Z, with a chance to catch the storms in Nebraska as they fired up and started producing around 22Z. However, I would have probably screwed it up if I was actually there.

In real life, I sat at the Best Western in Shamrock, Texas along with a million other people and saw nothing. Go figure.

I actually chased this day and from the same area around North Platte, NE : http://www.stormchaserco.com/20050507.html

I'm going to say that from central NE I would have been all over the line of tornado warned storms but on the 'real' day I had to be back in Ft. Collins to meet Amanda and watch one of her triathlons that I promissed - so I left the chase early after some severe hail.

Aaargh, going to call this a bust! Got to antsy and moved north out of North Platte, when I should have stayed put and/or moved east. That's what I get for putting myself in Cherry cnty NE I suppose. I know there is likely no way I would have had a chance to reposition back in time to intercept the sups that went up as I would have been chasing from behind. Good challenging case!

Virtually traveling up to northern SD was a higher risk play that didn't pan out, though I "saw" some severe storms. A bust on this case.

 

[Jim Tang]

Well fudge. I knew moving out of N Platte was a bad idea. Oh well, at least I was fairly close to the action.

Was in the game....but to far north by a few counties....radar trends would have most likely prompted me to move south....but all in all a good chase study! Thanks for putting it together!
