June 01, 2014: Storm Chasing in Southwest Kansas.

June 1st was the start of a new storm chasing tour and everyone got a great chase on their first day.

We traveled from Oklahoma City to one of my favorite places in Tornado Alley: Southwest Kansas. A sharp dry line with dewpoints in the mid-60s was in-place.

That coupled with good upper-level support and steep lapse rates would be the focus of our first tornado warned supercell of the day near Rozel, Kansas.

Unfortunately, due to a missing hard drive (please see our other 2014 post for info on that), we lost the photos from Brian’s camera. These two photographs which were on another camera are all we have.
