Tour 4 for Tempest Tours began on May 25, with three vans full of guests.\u00a0 Brian Morganti, Chuck Doswell and Justin Pletsch were in the “Doswell” van; while Chris Gullikson, Steve Pekich and I guided the other two vans.\u00a0 There was a slight risk for severe storms over much of western and central Nebraska, which meant that we had a long, hard drive after the tour orientation around noon in OKC.<\/p>\n

We made it up to I-80 at York with a couple of hours of daylight remaining.\u00a0 An agitated area of clouds near Custer County drew us westward and then northwest of Grand Island.\u00a0 We stopped near Hazard, NE, and watched some junky updrafts struggle.\u00a0 My notes indicate that these were “left movers”.\u00a0 A stronger storm to our distant west after sunset provided some lightning photography opportunities (and the updraft does indeed look like a “left-split”).\u00a0 Apparently the storm of the day was near Gothenburg, around 7 p.m., which produced baseball-sized hail.\u00a0 It may have been the old Gothenburg storm that we were watching after sunset.\u00a0 Our home for the night was Grand Island.<\/p>\n
