We met up with a local stormchaser and travelled to Dodge City , Kansas, We spent some time at the Severe Weather cemtre in Dodge City. There were concerns about the expolsive nature of todays weather, To the north is a cold, cold front moving slowly south/south east, To the west is a dry line which is expected to move east. These together with the high temps and abundance of moisture produce a volatile weather situatation, It was felt that once things started they would evovled rapidly. They did. Within 30 mins of the first cumulus popping up, they reached an altitude of 50,000 ft. Planes fly at 37,000 that indicates their size. Once these storm cells reached areas where the CAPE (potential energy) values were extremely high and the the atmosphere unstable they produced super cell after super cell. I am told that yesterday we saw a seasons super cells in one day. As we tracked along side these cells, one would mature and die and the next would develop behind it. One after another, after another, one of which produced a tornado. Each of the cells stayed prolonged and then formed a line which moved eastwards producing golfball size hail, torrential rain and deadly lightning. We eventually booked into a roach infested motel in Dodge. One set of chasers woke up and found themselves covered in roaches, the walls were also covered completely. They left town.
