DAY 9 – We Get Tempestuous – 20080601

We are on our way. There are about 20 people with the group:

• T1 van: 8 people
• U1 van: 6 people
• U2 van: 6 people – Scott (Driving), Maria, Diane, Barton, Howard, Lisa

The morning SPC outlook maps looked like this:

• Started near I-40 at the Wingate Hotel in OKC (on Meridian Blvd.)
• Charged off to western Kansas, a move to position for storms in central Nebraska on Monday afternoon
• Looked over severe- and tornado-warned storms near North Platte, NE. One storm looks like we might catch up to it in far northwest KS, but it fizzles before we get the chance. It’s diurnal, that is grows or fades based on available daylight; as our sun fades, so does our storm.
