Friday 27th May 2022 - S Dakota (Slight Risk)
After a 2 day break with no weather we were back in the Northern Plains with a small Slight Risk area over Western South Dakota near the Black Hills and North of Rapid City. SPC went with a 2% Tornado Risk but High Resolution Models did not show much promise with a couple of Supercells rolling out of Wyoming and congealing into a bowing line. Had Lunch in Sturgis and then rolled north to a great viewpoint to the west to watch the developing Supercell move in.The Tour 2 guests enjoying the Lightning of the Approaching StormWe tracked the Storm east a small distance before everything dissipated and our attention was then drawn to another type of Storm which was developing namely a Solar Storm with a KP5 and a large negative Bz of -11.4. I had already pre-empted the next day was going to be a Nebraska Chase so had re-booked the rooms in Chadron and on the NE/SD border we stopped and looked north with amazement.Not a bad sight for 46 degrees north and my 2nd US Solar Storm. Guests were well chuffed
