June 25, 2019 - North Central Kansas
Very late in the season for tornadic supercells but we had some this day. Good Friend and fellow SVLMedia Chaser Myles Nelson, it was his birthday. So to celebrate we had to get a game plan on.
Night before there was none predicted for any severe storms, but mother nature had different plans. Waking up, and checking the morning model scans we had a much different story. We planned accordingly and things panned out for us to follow the first storms to pop to the east of Hastings Nebraska.
This cell packed to early punch but eventually faded out by Bruning Nebraska. Luckily the 2nd cell we had been monitoring just to the south of Hastings was maturing and had the all the right stuff. We scooted west to get into position. Then via Hwy 14, just south of Nelson Nebraska was our first TVS marker, and a scans showed a decent hail core developing. We were in luck as this storm was building and maturing fast.
Once this first event was on top of us, we positioned south and east of Superior Nebraska via Hwy 8 to do it again. Where we met up with several other chasers that were on the hunt. Good to see good friends again as this cell was again in a maturing stage producing come incredible cloud to cloud and cloud to ground lightning.
Eventually we had to punch through the core via west of Superior as we again head south into Kansas via Hwy 14. East of Mankato Kansas we ran into the 3.5 inch hail core next to Formoso Kansas and we had to stay ahead of this to stay out of the core. North of Courtland Kansas the cell was on our tail and we were in the notch. Surreal cloud structure could be seen as we had pushed east.
West of Scandia we ended up in a Tornado Warning was it had push up right against us. A Train had blocked out route east and it got a little never racking. Though the train eventually passed an we were able to escape the worst part of the storm. Ending up just to the west of Scandia Kansas were we experienced 3 inch hail. I have a few new dents but we decided wisely not to go any further due to the rain rapped tornado in this storm. Got by a building and had some protection from the winds and hail.
It was the end of the video's chase day and another tale to tell in my storm chasing adventures for 2019!
