Conzemius.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>We left the Soft Pillow Inn, did lunch and laundry, and drifted southwest of Garden City a little and waited for storm development.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>My forecast turned out to be pretty good, as storms developed near Lakin, in the county west of Garden City (GCK).<span>\u00a0 <\/span>The Lakin cell exhibited fine structure as it crept eastward towards GCK.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>We stayed just ahead of it on U.S. 50.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>The cell was somewhat high-based, and was not a good tornado candidate, however.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>A new cell developed nearby to its northeast, and had a much lower base.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>It was just to our north, north of <st1:city><st1:place>Charleston<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>A wall cloud developed and lightning increased on this cell, but low-level rotation was weak.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Eventually, numerous cells developed in a linear fashion and the party was over.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>Four-inch hailstones were observed<span>\u00a0 <\/span>with the primary supercell on the south side of Garden City, shortly after we exited the town.<span>\u00a0 <\/span>It was a relatively very easy and rewarding chase, and only a total of 213 miles for the day after arriving at the Days Inn in <st1:city><st1:place>Dodge City<\/st1:place><\/st1:city>.<\/p>\n<p><a
