Not much to crow about since the May 25 tornado in Missouri…
May 26th was the 10th and final chase day for Tour 3, and there was no weather to bother with. We made our way from Poplar Bluff to Tulsa, with a stop in Branson, MO, to watch the IMAX “Tornado Alley” film. On May 27th we had the vans cleaned and did laundry, and we met the Tour 4 guests in OKC on Saturday, the 28th. We went up to Ponca City and waited at the local lake, and a storm wen up to our southwest, near Kingfisher, OK. It was briefly severe, and as we got close, it died a sudden and horrible death. On Sunday, May 29, we targeted SE Nebraska, as instability and shear were quite high again. A storm went up just west of Lincoln at 7 p.m., and we were on it quickly. It looked like an LP supercell for a little bit, and then it quickly went POOF and was a goner. The cap wins again.
We are in West Point, NE, tonight, and ready for some big and non-sputtering storms tomorrow, Memorial Day.
