Chase 2011 - Day 13 Discussion

[Paul Sherman]

Another slight risk and hopefully some better luck than the 11th May in Western Kansas on the Dryline on what was a dissapointing chase day. At the moment targetting Eastern Kansas and Western Missouri along the Dryline, hopefully some outflow boundaries can fire up before the Cold Front catches the dryline up.
