Chasecation 2014 Day 1 – Cruisin’

Crossing into Iowa mid-afternoon 5/17/14.

We are making good progress westward today. Spent the night in Indianapolis after dinner with long time Twitter friend Bryan Wood. Right now we are in Iowa, and the goal is to make it to eastern South Dakota tonight to be in good position for chasing western South Dakota or eastern Montana tomorrow. We are just now crossing the 1,000 mile marker since we started back in Maryland, and we probably have another 7,000+ miles to cover over the next two weeks.

Hopefully we’ll bag ourselves a nice looking supercell with tomorrow’s setup. Stay tuned!
