Chasecation!

Having had to abort two chases myself over the years due to tire problems, the number one rule before starting out on a an extended chase trip is to make sure the vehicle is in good running order. It sucks having to watch a wall cloud disappear into the distance while your vehicle is being worked on.

That should be a nice spot to watch supercells pass 20-30 miles to their east

Those storms already in Missouri have too much of a head start. I'd be inclined to shoot down to 54 to get east fast to get in position for those Oklahoma storms, but I'm sure that's a lot easier said than done.

the cell NW of stockton is possibly doable depending on its trajectory and lifespan

problem is the western ones collapsed as the eastern ones went up.. id maybe be inclined to target the one moving up from the south but i dunno what im doing. ;)

Wow-- it sounds complicated. The nice thing about a 'cane is there's just one core to chase. It may wobble and it may fall apart-- but there's a single, consolidated, durable focal point to the energy. (And I'm not suggesting 'cane chasing is easier-- it's a total nightmare in its own way.)

Good luck, guys-- I hope you get some action today!

Storms coming into MO from OK, aren't collapsing, the one about to cross the border just went TW'd, and is strengthening by the minute. You guys really should have went south.

they still need longitude before they head south if that's what they choose....where they are now is useless
