Another chase day — another rather mediocre High Plains setup with so-so moisture. \u00a0Upper level flow was very reasonable, though, and surface flow was upslope. \u00a0SPC bestowed our region with a marginal risk. \u00a0We drifted from Harrison to Lusk after lunch and then moseyed west and north to Lance Creek. \u00a0An agitated area was in the works west of Lance Creek, but it was in no hurry to get strong at all. \u00a0We found a shade tree on a hill, but it was still hot. \u00a0We waited and waited for something worthwhile here, where moisture convergence and storm initiation appeared to be most probable. \u00a0But, this area was just not happening. \u00a0A big and puffy cumulus cloud made an appearance to our southeast…WAY to our southeast. \u00a0Was that where we should be? \u00a0I elected to head that way just in case — east from Lance Creek to 85, south to Lusk, and then east into Nebraska. \u00a0Along the way, the storm increased in size and intensity. \u00a0It was not too far from Alliance, where we had been for the morning briefing. \u00a0UGH. \u00a0By the time we hit Lusk, we knew that this big and isolated cell was our ticket. \u00a0The images below were taken along the way, from about Harrison to points about 10 miles north of Mitchell. \u00a0It took about two hours to get close. \u00a0The storm was drifting slowly to the south, and perhaps even a little to the SSW. \u00a0The deviant motion meant that we had a rotating updraft.<\/p>\n
