The outlook for today was not especially clear-cut, nor was it especially providing a warm-and-fuzzy feeling with regard to potential. \u00a0SPC had a hatched hail area well down south, south of Lubbock. \u00a0Dew points and instability were really nice down there, but the effective bulk shear required for long-lived supercells was marginal at best. \u00a0A 2% tornado risk extended from Lake Superior to Dryden, TX, near the Rio Grande. So, that was of little help. \u00a0I elected to play a slow-moving boundary in southwest Kansas. \u00a0Instability and shear were just “okay.” \u00a0We started the afternoon with a visit to the Kearny County Museum in Lakin, Kansas. \u00a0From there we sauntered down to the Gate, OK, area in the Panhandle to be close to the boundary. \u00a0Some storm towers finally started to develop about an hour or so before sunset. \u00a0Better late than never.<\/p>\n
