Target: Meade, Kansas                   < May 22 | June 4 >

May 27, 2015

Target: Meade, Kansas

Pretty straight forward chase, with strong instability and nicely curved wind profile over SW Kansas. I refined the target to either far SW Kansas or the NE Texas panhandle. With perhaps a slight bias toward SW Kansas, as well as the Texas panhandle being about 100 miles farther away, I opted to play some storms near Meade, Kansas. Despite the tornadic supercell about 90 miles to my south I found a new updraft over Plains, Kansas. This storm really didn't get over the hump, but for about an hour or so it demonstrated some great barber-pole structure with good visibilty. As this storm gradually weakened, I changed my course to chase after a tornadic supercell near Sublette, but by the time I arrived several mergers had taken place and the storm was no longer tornadic. I ended the chase near Dodge City with some lightning photography among the windmills near Spearville.
