A buddy of mine Wyatt on his first chase and I left Lincoln after class shortly after 11. Our destination was initially Salina. We arrived in Salina around 1 just as a cell was going up over town, we intercepted the cell which appeared to have typical low topped supercell characteristics but it quickly weakened as it moved North into rain cooled air. From there we continued to Salina where we chilled out most of the early afternoon keeping my fingers crossed that enough destabilization was taking place ahead of the dryline. Later in the afternoon, the Dryline began to show up on radar and the satellite image showed bubbling CU all along the DL so I opted to get SW of Salina. From Salina, we dropped down to the Ellsworth area noting TCU developing on the way. Watching radar and having a decent visual I could see that the storms were struggling, so I opted to park about 30 miles ahead of the dryline hoping for one storm to take off and begin to move a little more East. Eventually one storm became tornado warned just about 20 miles to our SW, so we raced to it. Once there we noted a nice rotating wall cloud with intermittent funnels/scud, this storm died a quick death however, as it began to take on the disturbed air due to a storm coming up from its south. Had this storm been able to move a little more East of North we may have been in business. After staying with this storm too long we noted a the storm to our south getting its act together, however on radar it too looked rather non-impressive so for about 20 minutes I debated on rather or not we should race down there to intercept it. Eventually we figured we might as well give it a try. When we were about 15 miles from the storm driving through the anvil precip, they re-issued the warning mentioning spotter confirmed tornado. Arriving on the storm only 15 minutes later we did note nice supercell structure, but nothing that looked like it was real threatening just some weak rotation, after watching that storm become outflow dominated near sunset we began our journey home.

Just chilling out E of Ellsworth about 30 miles ahead of the Dryline waiting for a storm to take charge

Numerous TCU had developed but non explosivly

First tornado warning issued, dont think I have ever seen Wyatt move so fast

Taking the scenic route to get to the warned storm

Radar view of Tornado Warned Storm, We are the little white dot almost on the storm

Liked the view I had here and it was moving towards me so chilled here and watched nice Wall Cloud with some weak rotation

Screwing around after storm weakend

Wasting even more time, debating rather we should go after southern storm or not, shouldn't have debated so long.

On the way to the southern storm the sky was amazing, I didn't have time to stop though so all my images are blurred

I probably should have stopped and taken some good pictures but I wanted a tornado

Approaching the storm we could see it had a nice inflow band and decent supercell structure

Shortly after arriving though the storm began to become outflow dominated

It was a nice sunset
