Backyard Chasing May 26
Chasing in our backyard today, looks like we have a chance for large hail and isolated tornadoes in our area. Will be out chasing today on the northeast of our plains.. Hard play today, just got to keep an eye on breaks in the clouds and watch radar, for the areas of the best cape and shear. I still like the Cheyenne Ridge today.

Chasing in Becca's favorite territory today! Except for the area near NE/SD border which is horrible territory. Which happens to look the best on the models.. It also seems that a nice cell in the Texas panhandle may occur today.. :)

(South of Lusk, WY 6:45pm)
(Near Crawford, at 7:30 pm)After the sun went down, and some beers with TIV crew, we went back out around Chadron, NE watching a very incredible lightning storm, and a very very low meso on what seemed to be a nicely structured storm. Staying the night in Chadron, NE tonight to position ourselves for South Dakota.
Chasing with Becca, briefing with Chris Yates at 12:30pm today... Going to be a fun chase around the Cheyenne Ridge area...

What a great day, was some of the best daytime cc and cg lightning i have seen in a while, got to see a bell shaped meso, and a rotating wall cloud in front of a sunset. On the way home I saw a meteor break through a good portion of the atmosphere too! Chased from Wiggins to Fort Morgan area.

Lots of hail north of Kersey, CO
Nice CG northwest of Sterling, CO after watching a funnel and nice storm structure on this cell

Recent PDS 8pm - 4am CDT
PDS Earlier Today
Governor Declared A State of Emergency
Looks like a very intense day for Arkansas. There are very violent tornadoes today.. With 90 over 70 earlier, and the very intense vertical wind shear, high supply of moisture, theres a chance of long track tornadoes into the night. I saw a posting on facebook by Mike Umscheid of spotter locations according to the radar and thought its ridiculous. There are a lot of "storm chasers" out there now, and yet they continue to risk their lives.
As much as I like to watch the weather channel, maybe now or tomorrow would be a good time to watch it or cnbc, or something to see what happened to the people in this state. These were very strong tornadoes. And there still is a dangerous situation unfolding tonight.
