Hopes were somewhat high for a nice chase day with a tornado. \u00a0And, we were starting out right about where we wanted to be — Dodge City! \u00a0SPC showed a 5 percent tornado threat in southwest Kansas. \u00a0Some morning storms were in progress up along I-70, and the models were not handling that activity well at all. \u00a0With a dew point of 70F at Dodge City and a SSE wind by mid-afternoon, I thought that we might be in Fat City. \u00a0We drifted WSW a little and killed some time around Sublette. \u00a0The dew points were quite a bit lower this far west, but this is where development would be. \u00a0We watched some storms go up a little farther ENE, in the vicinity of Dodge. \u00a0Other early afternoon convection was belching cold air around Scott City. \u00a0This cold air was coming our way. \u00a0We had a decent cell west of Dodge City for a bit, but it was moving to the northeast and was not spinning much. \u00a0I tried a dirt road which became muddy, and we let that one go. \u00a0We got in front of a new storm at Cimarron. \u00a0It looked good, and then it was outflowing. \u00a0New storms to the WSW beckoned, near Sublette, and we wound up on one that chased us south on 83 towards Liberal. \u00a0Again, this one was rather high-based and in ho-hum air with regard to the dew points. \u00a0The words “outflow” and “undercut” were muttered.<\/p>\n
