5/15/2015 - Nebraska Panhandle Storms
A quick solo trip to the Plains for the weekend brought a few picturesque storms, but certainly did not live up to forecast expectations. I left very early Friday, targeting western Nebraska. I intercepted a number of supercells in the Sidney-Ogallala region -- one of the storms wrapped up very nicely to my south, but never could connect. Tethered to DeKalb for a Sunday evening party meant I had to let the Red River threat go on Saturday and play the washed out, low-risk Kansas region. Another early morning MCS killed the potential for supercells across my target area, which meant a long ride home Saturday/Sunday.
Lapses for the day.
