Doing some nowcasting for Verne as he should have just crossed into Nebraska on the southern storm which has just crossed the state line. The storms near Holdrege look very impressive at this time with velocity scans showing a nice couplet to compliment the reflectivity hook. Hail up to 2 inches being reported near Holdrege from that storm. Anxious to hear Verne's report from today.
Chasing tomorrow looks to be a go. The gang has been coordinated with and we're looking at a departure of 6am from Brighton. We'll shoot out I-80 as planned and make our adjustments on the road. I'm still leaning at Southeastern Nebraska at this time as I think we'll have better chances ahead of the dryline before the front plows through. We'll see how things look tonight and most certainly in the morning.
I head off campus in 30 minutes to begin my closing shift at the pizza joint. I'll be able to pull the text products from SPC on my cell phone before I get home, which should allow me to get home and go straight to bed before my 5:15am wake-up call.
Updates will be sparce through tomorrow except a text message sent to my blog, so stay tuned as I'll update as frequently as I can. Very excited to get out again and look forward to whatever comes up! Should be stormy to say the least!
