Chase Day 31 Reports and discussions

[Tom Lynch]

Paul is counting ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZs  and so I will post some shots and video from today. Paul can fill in the detail  As far as today goes for a cold front day it panned out better than anticipated,  Although we were thwarted every inch of the way by new cells popping up between us and our inteded prey.

 

We could otiginally see between the various cells , that is when we got the funnel cloud. There was another funnel cloud later but we were repositioning ourselves and could film it.  We could see and watched a large wall cloud but new cells kept hiding it from us. These cells were all moving very slowly until of course we wanted to get south of them.  We tried to cut behind one severe warned storm and get south of the tornado warned cell before it crossed the road that we were on but it suddenly went from 20 mph to 50 mph,  So we had to settle for a photographers dream instead,

 

 

 

Some photos taken by me with my video camera. I know others with proper jobbies will have better photos.  I am happy with mine thank you.

Tom has covered that very well with the chase report, got on a very nice Supercell SE Of Dodge City which produced 2 Funnel Clouds, the Mammatus at the end was some of the best I have ever seen.
