On the day prior to this (June 8), we held out some hope for a storm near the western NE\/SD border. \u00a0We started at Gering (near Scottsbluff, lunched in Harrison, and wound up watching towers lose the battle against the cap near Mission, SD. \u00a0395 miles.<\/p>\n

We had a decent chance for a high-end storm today. \u00a0SPC showed a slight risk for ND and a 5 percent tornado area, primarily north of I-94 in the middle of the state to the Canadian border. \u00a0A lot of chasers were up in ND for this expected event. \u00a0The general pattern has been mediocre at best for a week or two, and chasers were hungry for action. \u00a0Dew points were still a tad marginal for really good tornado prospects. \u00a0So-so moisture has been the bane of chasers for much of May and early June.<\/p>\n

Prior to lunch along I-94 at Steele, we stopped at an abandoned house near Hazelton for the group pictures.<\/p>\n
