We decided to chase today and left town an hour ago. Planning on heading west on I70 to Russel area and then heading north a tad. All depends on where the best surface convergence is setting up. I’m worried about dewpoints recovering in the wake of earlier convection. That could be a problem. The RUC has been very consistent in destabilizing the environment from west to east in the wake of morning precip. That is starting to look realistic as it is already underway. Whether or not thermodynamics will be favorable for tornadic supercells by late afternoon along the NE/KS border area remains to be seen. Its a Saturday and close to home so its worth a try.
Deep layer shear may be a bit of an issue too, but you never really know how storms are going to react in an environment with good low level shear and lower end deep layer shear, so all you can do is go and hope for the best. I will be streaming video this afternoon if you want to check it out.
