Storm Intercept Summary
I left Pittsburg, Kansas around noon, with a target of Parsons, Kansas. After arriving in Parsons, Kansas and checking data at the local Super 8 Motel, I saw that a tornado warned supercell was west of my location, near Neodesha, Kansas. I decided to head north out of Parsons and attempt to intercept the supercell north of Erie, Kansas.
I saw a nice rotating wall cloud to the north of Stark, Kansas. Stark is located in the extreme northeast corner of Neosho County, Kansas. I only got a couple photos of the wall cloud, as the supercell was screaming to the northeast towards Ft. Scott, Kansas.
I met up with Joey Ketchem and crew in Ft. Scott, Kansas. We headed back to Pittsburg, Kansas to regroup, and hope for more storms to refire to our west. We went back to the Erie, Kansas area where we watched some towers attempt to get going, only to be sheared off.
Towards sunset we finally got some more severe storms to develop north of Erie, Kansas. It got too dark to see anything and we headed back home.
