A long drive from western Iowa was staring us in the face this morning, as the risk for severe weather was well to our west. \u00a0SPC showed an “enhanced” slight risk of severe storms from about Goodland to Chadron. \u00a0My forecast and strategy today — get to North Platte and Ogallala and find a storm. \u00a0 The tornado chances were very slim. \u00a0Lunch was at a Runza in Kearney, and as we continued to the west, a long-lived supercell was diving southeastward through the Sand Hills and aiming for I-80 between Ogallala and North Platte. \u00a0 We exited near Roscoe and watched the storm approach.<\/p>\n

It didn’t look half bad early on. \u00a0Its base passed just to our east at Roscoe, and hail up to half-dollar size was in the core. \u00a0But, then the cell decided it had had enough and it fizzled very quickly. \u00a0We continued westward, and were a little too late to see a tornado that was reported near Bridgeport, NE. Convection got a bit messy in the southern Nebraska Panhandle, and I decided to go for some semi-new storms near the Wyoming border. \u00a0We set up south of Bushnell at sunset, and managed a few pretty pictures. \u00a0None of the storms here were well organized.<\/p>\n

(The following day was the final one for Tour 7. \u00a0We headed down to the Pueblo area and came up to a rotating updraft west of there, near Penrose, but the storm was DOA. \u00a0I didn’t even get the camera out.)<\/p>\n
