Hello from Dodge City, Kansas!

We started the morning off in Amarillo, TX. Last night we had our celebratory steak at The Big Texan. From Amarillo we headed north toward Stratford, TX then continued through the Oklahoma Panhandle toward extreme southeast Colorado where a good looking storm was developing over Campo, CO. Unfortunately the only direct roads to the storm were dirt and very water-logged so there was no getting through. We backtracked a bit then came up into southwest Kansas around Manter area.

From here we were able to watch the business-end of the storm and a decent wall cloud with an abundance of rotation formed. It dissipated quickly, however, so we proceeded a bit east to keep ahead of the storm toward Johnson City. The storm then fell apart... There was too much ongoing convection all around the storm we were watching and they all interacted to eventually just form a blobby mess.

We continued east toward Ulysses, in blinding rain I might add, then dropped a bit south to take a look at the storm out of the rain. It had... died. So we called it a chase day. 

Originally we were battling the decision to drpo south from Amarillo in the morning toward Lubbock but decided on the northern target. It looks like there was a tornado northwest of Lubbock buried in the rain (according to chaser reports). That whole area is flooding again, almost the same spots as yesterday.

We're in Dodge City for the night decided on the play for tomorrow where the NWS SPC has outlined an ENHANCED risk again.
