Monday June 3rd - Southwestern Kansas.

Today we are chasing in Southwestern Kansas, however we have quite some time to wait until storm initiation. So with that in mind, what a great time to have some fun in the land of OZ in Liberal, Kansas.

 

Storms started to fire up in the later afternoon and we headed out to a spot to wait.

This is typical in chasing. You want to find a spot ahead of the target area and wait for storms to fire up and become somewhat severe as they approach.

 



 

After waiting for a bit, it was decided that this wasn't the best area to target and we move on.
We did however pass through some thunderstorms with nice cloudy to ground lightning....


Later in the day a departing storm gave some BEAUTIFUL picture opportunities with a windfarm in the background.

 

The departing storm also produced some great mammatus clouds...

 

 

As the storm moved on, this provided for a wonderful sunset opportunity.



Staying in Great Bend, Kansas for the night.
