I started the day after boondocking near Hamlet, Nebraska. It was a pretty good spot along a decommissioned piece of old highway with high grass providing some cover.
I made my way west into Colorado with thoughts of convection along an early morning outflow boundary.
Shear seemed better further north where storms were forming in the Nebraska Panhandle. So I hustled up to the strongest one near Sidney. It picked up a tornado warning before I got there. By the time I was on it, it was gusting out.
And that was the story from there. Gusty, linear storm modes as everything in Colorado and Nebraska merged into a line of storms that led me on a tour southward through western Kansas into the night.
