Last post before I crash out for tonight. After sitting in Glendive for most of the day, we decided to call it and get a hotel room here for the night. It looked like the cap was just too strong and nothing was going to develop at all; lots of towers were going up but they were all getting choked off and dying. After we checked in, though, we pulled up the radar and noticed there was one cell trying to survive to our northwest near Circle, Montana. We drove out and ended up seeing what we could easily describe as one of the best structured storms we have ever seen. It was an amazing LP super-cell with an updraft base nearly dragging the ground, and we were able to find a nice perch on top of a bluff that gave us a perfect view of the storm. We sat there and watched it for almost an hour as it turned from an LP to a classic super-cell and almost produced a tornado right in front of us. It did not, however, and eventually we decided to call it a night for good this time and headed back into Glendive for some much needed R&R time.

Tomorrow it looks like we will be headed into north-central North Dakota where we will once again be battling a strong cap that may prevent storms from being able to sustain themselves.
