With moisture still in short supply on the High Plains, the prospects for a good storm seemed rather slim on May 6.\u00a0 But, there was enough instability and shear for an isolated supercell.\u00a0 SPC showed a “see text” for eastern WY and the NE Panhandle.\u00a0 Our group began the day in Rapid City, and I had to consider the option of heading to the Red River (OK\/TX) area for a decent-looking severe-weather setup on May 7th.\u00a0 There was an “upslope” play, too, on the 7th, and the tornado risk looked a little better to me in CO versus OK\/TX.\u00a0 So, I decided to stick with the High Plains on the 6th and 7th.\u00a0 During the afternoon we waited patiently around the Broadwater, NE, area, north of Sidney.\u00a0 We drifted west towards the NE\/WY border as a cumulus field perked up a bit in extreme southeastern WY.\u00a0 Finally, a cell managed to get strong northeast of Cheyenne and north of Burns.\u00a0 It quickly began to spin and we were treated to sensational updraft structure along the dirt road network in Laramie County.\u00a0 No other chasers were around, and we had a front-row seat!\u00a0 We stayed close to the supercell as it moved east into the Nebraska Panhandle, north of Bushnell.<\/p>\n

After dusk, we stuck around I-80 for additional storms west of Sidney.<\/p>\n
