Finally got a day where we can get to our target location and wait for something to develop. So far there's been little to no cap and everything was initiating shortly after noon. The cap today is much more substantial, which might cause nothing to develop, but at least it let us get set up somewhere instead of chasing right out of the hotel and trying to catch up to everything.

So right now we are sitting in a coffee shop in Glendive, Montana, waiting for storms to develop. Great instability and decent shear, but weak forcing is making this an unsure event.

In the meantime I've been putting together some animated GIFs of the funnels we saw yesterday. If you click on the link for the chase gallery you will see some of the thumbnails with dark borders around them; those are the animations.

  1. Nice addition of the animation...I find myself rooting for it to touch down and then seeing the dust rising
