Wow — looking back at this chase day, it was looking darn good for a tornado or two along a warm front that was just south of the NE\/KS border during the late afternoon. \u00a0Marysville showcased a dew point of 77F (84F\/77F!), with an east wind at 5 mph. \u00a0Low-level moisture was not a problem! \u00a0A surface low was over central KS, MLCAPE values were about 4000 J\/kg, and SPC was considering a 10% tornado risk area along the warm front. \u00a0(They kept that at 5 percent.) \u00a0SRH values were very good (over 150), and 500mb flow was 40-45 knots from the SW or WSW. \u00a0Sunshine was abundant during the afternoon. \u00a0So, why is this chase account entry not filled with dramatic tornado images? \u00a0Answer: \u00a0Because there were no tornadoes.<\/p>\n

I seemingly made all of the correct chase decisions necessary today! \u00a0We came up on a developing storm just southwest of Marysville. \u00a0This storm because a decent and isolated supercell, with obvious low-level rotation. \u00a0It dragged us north of U.S. 36 a little bit, and still looked pretty good as it became tornado-warned and turned more to the east (see first four images below). \u00a0We had a road problem, though. \u00a0The next option to the east was seven full miles north of 36, which meant an unpaved road in the storm core. \u00a0No thanks. \u00a0In order to stay with the supercell and to get back into position, we headed back south a few miles on U.S. 77 to U.S. 36, and then made our way eastward through Marysville. \u00a0I crossed my fingers and said my prayers that the storm would not go into tornado-making mode during this timeframe. \u00a0It did not.<\/p>\n
