So it begins

And so begins yet another year of chasing storms across the great plains of the United States. I got to Oklahoma City last Saturday, and we (Silver Lining Tours Tour 3) technically began to chase yesterday across the high plains of eastern Colorado. The pattern for our tour looks incredibly active, and today looks like the first really good chase day of the trip. While we did in fact see some tornadic storms yesterday (including a beautiful white funnel cloud about a third of the way to the ground), today is going to be the real big start to the tour. We are currently just south west of Greensburg, KS, heading somewhere near Watonga, OK, with the expectation of what should be monster supercells and possible tornadoes. I'm going to try to write up a post every morning analyzing our chase day and then every night with the results. Stay tuned!
