Outlook: Moderate Risk
Target Area: Northwest Mississippi
Partners: Jesse Hines and Ashley Poling
Chasers Encountered: None
Travel Time: 16.5 hours
Miles Traveled: 800
Result: BUST
Long story short we gambled on a setup and lost; this became a night time event when some of the models the day before suggested mid to late afternoon initiation. I never look at a chase as disappointing because I'm out giving it a go, and this chase in particular was a great dry run for future chases.
This was only our second chase together (Jess, Ash, and me as this was my third chase with Jesse) and our first out of state adventure and it went almost as perfect as I could ever ask for. We had up to the minute data and we picked the right target area, but the cold front slowed down to a snail's pace over Western Arkansas and initiation did not occur until after sunset.. Again a pretty good dry run for a chase down the road.
