Tuesday 30th May 2017 - Missouri (Marginal Risk)

After a few down days the last chase day of Tour 2 started a really quiet period in the Plains when a huge ridge had flexed its muscles from Mexico all the way up the West Coast! But we still managed to chase on Day 10 albeit having to leave the chase just when it was getting interesting. We lunched at a Brewhouse in Emporia which was superb and one for the future tours! HRRR had a line of storms just SW of Kansas City all moving South East in gentle North West flow, I am not a fan of SE moving storms but this would be the start of 2 weeks of this so I thought well you better start somewhere.These were typical Uk type marginal risk storms, generally single or Multicell in nature and quite frustrating to chase, but we made the best of the situation and added Missouri to the chasing list for 2017 but only just by about 10 miles! The best structure came along near the tiny town of Amsterdam where we got some decent structure and lightning. But as we had to be in DFW the next morning we had to leave just as it was getting interesting! Still a storm is a storm and everyone enjoyed just being out there.Below: The last storm of Tour 2 as we wave goodbye to it!
