By this time tomorrow, I'll be on the road to freedom... or Amarillo as the case may be. While I originally had no plans to chase Saturday due to it being far east and only a day, I ended up with an offer that will enable me to chase Saturday. I'm heading down to Amarillo tomorrow with Verne to pick up the mesonet vehicle left behind last week. As a result, I will end up chasing Saturday and returning to Denver with the vehicle on Sunday.
Was going to chase today, but had to hang back to wrap up the finishing touches on my projects. The project was wrapped up this morning and the final rendering will be done overnight. My presentation is at 10am where I will officially wrap up all semester obligations.
As a result, I missed the chance to chase an ongoing tornado-producing storm in extreme western Kansas. Michael Carlson and crew were hauling through Larkin last I checked. A new tornado warning was recently issued as the storm has cycled again and is presenting well on radar. Several chasers are now on this cell and thus reports should continue to stream in.
So off to Amarillo I'll be by tomorrow. One last obligation to attend to and it's clear through August!
