Day 1: better than it ought to have been

We caught some neat storms today, and I would submit that it was worth the lack of sleep and driving all day. We essentially got to areas southwest of Omaha and caught a supercell that gave us some hope and wall clouds. At times it looked like it would produce, as it was sucking air in pretty consistently at an estimated 25 knots. And just when we thought it was over, another burst of air ingestion would occur, making it look like it was about to produce. Given the relatively low dewpoints, I suppose we couldn't expect tornadoes, but it's nice to hope.
