April 23 Storm Chase

#1 Postby Windy » Sun May 02, 2010 1:15 am

My chase partner and I went chasing this past Friday in central and Eastern Nebraska; we started out the day near Grand Island, waiting to see if the cumulus field would do anything -- this is a great sight to see and made it feel more like Spring than just about anything else that I've seen lately:

Eventually we gave up on central Nebraska and moseyed east to Nebraska City. We sat there and passed up on the sky's first attempt at initiation (didn't look too promising and was headed right for Omaha metro) and took off once it was clear that the storms firing to the southwest were going to be the only game in town.

We mostly stuck with the southern storm in the storm cluster, which had a stretched, almost LP look to it at the time:

We watched it drift by to the north and then paralleled it along 66A, stopping to snap shots along the way:

All in all a very fun chase and a very pretty storm, considering. Bring on May!
