Monday 30th May 2022 - Kansas (Enhanced Risk)

Today was a changeover day in Denver and so is becoming normal another big risk for today. SPC had a Moderate Risk in Minnesota and South Dakota which we could not make but also a trailing dryline through Central and Eastern Kansas which was just about makeable with a mammoth drive firstly from Ogallalla to Denver to pick up the new guests then across I-70 to Salina and Wichita for an early evening dryline risk. This entailed 800 miles of travel. After getting back to Salina for around 6pm we punched through to the east side of the dryline but the views from the west were very nice with crisp updraughts and overshooting tops visible.We were now in a position to stair step down each Supercell but it was quickly apparant something was making these storms struggle today, the first storm was hugely outflow dominant, the 2nd died as we approached it so it was all on the tail end charlie by this stage on the KS/OK border. As soon as we got into position on the SE Side this promptly died as well due to diurnal loss of heating. All in all a very disappointing daybut we had to make the trip down for the next few days risks so the hurt was not too bad. Last picture of the shrivelling supercell at sunset
