Fall Chase in SW Kansas 10/07/2011

Set out from Cordell about 1 pm for my initial target near Liberal, KS.  As I neared Liberal shortly before 5pm CDT an agitated cu field was evident SW of Turpin, OK.  I filled up with fuel in Liberal  and headed N on US 83 a few miles and pulled off on a county road intersection to observe.  Before long a storm began to form, although it took awhile.  I eventually set up at the US 83/160 junction.

Highly-sheared developing storm at 5:30 pm CDT

Update

Haven't done so well in keeping up with blogging this summer.  In any case, as the fall chasing season is upon us, I have started again.  Adding to the 2011 Chase logs may take a while.  I will do it as I have time.

Also, I found a workaround so that might Lightbox photo album works properly again. So check the photo album page out.  It is still under construction, but I will continue to add pics when I complete fresh edits.
