Storm Intercept Summary

    After monitoring a persistent supercell thunderstorm in Greenwood and Woodson County, Kansas on weather radar, I determined that the supercell would not die anytime soon.
     I came up with a target area to the west of Strauss, Kansas or about eight miles east of Parsons, Kansas along U.S. 400 Highway.  While sitting at that location, I witnessed a well defined wallcloud along with a short lived funnel cloud.  The funnel cloud could have been a tornado, but I was too far away to see any debris cloud on the ground.
     Later I witnesssed an unconfirmed tornado, while I was stationary along U.S. 400 Highway and South 30th Street in Crawford County, Kansas.  This possible tornado would have been located in the Strauss, Kansas area.  I continued to stay to the east of the eastbound wall cloud, and I watched it until it became to dark to see it anymore.  Please view my weather blog at the link to your left for further details.
