Getting ready to leave out of the Econolodge in Mitchell, SD. Today is not looking as promising as it was a few days ago, little to no capping and a strong forcing will mean that most of the storms that do initiate will line out really quickly. Combined with the 40-50 mph or more storm motion, our best bet is going to be trying to set up ahead of the warm front and wait for things to fire off and head towards us. Luckily for Chris, this means heading west to Wall Drug and then north to the North Dakota / South Dakota line.

It'll be a good day to make sure all the wireless cards and camera gear is working.
