Mobile Mesonet trio in the rainQuick update today b/c I'm le tired! Went chasing again today, this time through the panhandle of Nebraska. We didn't have the highest of hopes for the day, but we managed to find a storm with heavy rain (eventually turned into a hail storm), and another that dropped a bit of a wall cloud (a good sign for a tornado to possibly form!). The second storm also brought heavy rain and pea-sized hail for our mesonet as we did NE/SW transects. It was certainly more than we were expecting, and despite no tornadoes, there were a lot of happy chasers this evening. Tonight we're in Alliance, Nebraska after two nights in Ogallala (I'll miss saying that name!). Not really sure what plans are over the next few days -- depends on where we decide is best to chase marginal convection in hopes that we get surprised. Stay tuned for details after the break :-)
Anvil East of Alliance, Nebraska (produced good hail -- we decided to chase further North)
Always a good spot to be -- our observation from the mobile mesonet is due North of the hook!
An okay wall cloud -- but it's still exciting!!!
