This chase day held some nice potential over North Dakota, but the cap was strong. \u00a0We killed a lot of time and drove around some in the Harvey area. \u00a0An updraft teased us well to the northeast of Harvey during the late afternoon, and we made an effort to get to it. \u00a0It was moving vey quickly to the east, though, and was not surface-based. \u00a0Fortunately, I suppose, it struggled and we blew it off before wasting too much time and effort on it. \u00a0Other severe storms were well to our SSW, along the SD\/ND border. \u00a0But these were in hot and relatively dry air and were very high-based. \u00a0I was not particularly interested in that stuff. \u00a0We drifted south a little as sunset neared, and finally some healthy updrafts went up a little west of Denhoff (northeast of Bismarck). \u00a0These drifted to the east and took on some supercellular characteristics, but they fell far short of the magnitude that we were hoping for. \u00a0Some evening hail storms came roaring out of Manitoba and into north-central ND, but we were headed south to Steele for the night.<\/p>\n
