New Chase Case #1

I going to put Day # 2 together this afternoon as I'm watching football and nursing this hangover.

lol I hear that! This hockey game is giving me more pain then the celebration last night. Look forward to starting another one, it really passes the time (Least with me). Good work Sam, congrats on your first one!
 
Wow. Didn't see any tornadoes in the northern Texas panhandle but was on a storm dropping 4.25" sized hail. Hopefully I was careful or the next day would have been spent getting the windshield replaced instead of chasing in Nebraska.

No kiddin... what happened to the blackhawks?!?


** Any requests for data to be provided in the next one? I'm starting at 12z and along with upper air, soundings and surface plots I'm going to show some mesoanalysis data and maybe some RUC data if I can figure out the archive at Earl's wxcaster.

Yeah I think Daykin NE is a good place to be Dick ....northbound for Day 2. Maybe this time I won't choose the big HP monster up by Fremont. That one had huge hail but was a big mess to chase.
 
05/21/04...I was at a Dairy Queen in west Omaha that night...you could read a newspaper from the lightning 60 mi. to my N-NW. And I had no idea what the next day held...:o
 
I've apparently been concurrently working on a case study as well. I've got a boatload of maps, including some model forecast data that we can use along with the surface data from the morning. I'll post it probably later tonight ... as either Case #2 or #3 depending on if Chad got his posted before mine.
 
Pretty much a bust for me. I guess I could count it as a visit to my dad in Stafford, KS. Looking forward to the next one. Thanks for putting these together!
 
As I didnt have a chance to see any of the updated reports, my original point of el Reno was not the best, but had I been out there for real, I would have headed North, but catching anything this trip would seem doubtful
 
I was late to this party, but just looking at the maps and picking an initial target and making adjustments with each update, I would have targeted an area around Hays and drifted toward Salina, KS. I probably would have waited the dry line out in this area trying to decide whether or not to move north. I probably would have stayed south. Iowa was way outside of my area.
 
Found the girls that washed the chase van back in 2004 in Norfolk and setup a little party for later that evening...(this really happened, local cheerleading squad was having a fundraiser 4 years ago). They all have to be over 18 now.
