Thanks for all the messages asking if were alright. We are :-) I had TWO targets yesterday, one up I-44 towards se KS and the other was Conway/Little Rock. We chose the latter. Passed through Conway mid afternoon to stratus/65F and light rain. We watched as numerous cells went up, crossed the boundary and weakened. Two storms became tornado warned and still did the same thing. Meanwhile, of course the northern target re-destabilized and tubed. Figures....So, seeing the dryline developing discrete supercells near Dallas, I hoped that tail end play would work. Nice storm, nice structure, great lightning, tor warned/tried to tube, but with weak surface winds it didnt do it. And of course the rest is history seeing what happened up by Conway. Actually from the chasers I talked to on it, they didnt see anything and said the storm looked like crap. Horrible to see what happened there and to think we crossed I-40 right at that spot 3 hours earlier....Off to Jackson, MS!!!!!
