Chase #7: Heading North
Today could be a decent dryline day in southwest Kansas into northwest Oklahoma.
Jeff, Esther, and I are currently on our way to somewhere around Pratt, Kansas, not far from the expected intersection of a dryline and warm front. There is not much convective inhibition (there is plenty of instability), but there is also fairly weak lift, so hopefully we’ll get enough lift to have some isolated storms. If storms do form, shear is sufficient for supercells and even tornadoes.
You may remember I mentioned I had an eye exam this afternoon, but I rescheduled it for tomorrow morning. I did get my first good night of sleep in a while last night, so I’m ready for some storms now. 🙂
