April 26, 2009

We woke up under some cloud cover, and found morning convection firing south of us. We decided to go ahead and chase it, as long as we didn't get suckered into chasing out of the afternoon chase area. As it turns out, the morning convection was pretty severe, and we circled it, and headed north for the higher potential in the afternoon.
    One big complaint: Don't pass people on a double line. I don't care if you are an uber-cool storm chaser. The amount of rude drivers today was amazing. Chase safely- if you have to drive like a maniac to get to the storm, you busted your forecast.
    Anyway, the best intercept of the day was near Vici, OK, and it wasn't super photogenic:

After a frustrating day, we had dinner at Montana Mike's in Clinton, OK and spent the night in Amaraillo, TX, headed home.
