Chasecation 2015 Day 13 – Another state, another supercell

Today took us to Wyoming to take another stab at getting some upslope tornado action. What was originally thought to be an early show for storms actually waited until the end of the afternoon and early evening.

After watching many convective towers fail at reaching storm status, a few storms did eventually develop in east-central Wyoming that were chaseable. The storm we were on had a wall cloud at times, but did not produce a tornado, at least not while we were on it. There was some convincing scud at times, though, as we sat on the southwest side of the storm.

With the Wyoming supercell picture below, we have now chased storms in Wyoming, Colorado, New Mexico, South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. We will try our luck in KS/NE again tomorrow, which will probably be our final chase day in the Plains.
