Target: Tarkio, MIssouri

 A day which showed some promise in far NW Missouri started with a trip up I-29 toward Rock Port, Missouri. The target was a rather precise location in Atchison County Missouri, with tornadic supercells anticipated. Storms initiated in far SE Nebraska around 3:00 pm and moved into a more favorable environmnt for tornadoes. Met up with Scott Blair in Rock Port, and initially played around with a weak supercell near Tecumseh, Nebraska. After watching the demise of that storm, we blasted east through Auburn, Nebraska and met back up with I-29, just before a storm became supercellular near Craig, Missouri. We followed that storm ENE through Maryville, Missouri before eventually letting it go near Union Star, Missouri. The storm never produced a tornado, but definitely created several tornado look-alikes with the pointed and rising scud.
