Targeted Hutchinson, KS today. Storm went up just west of town as I got there. I chased it east southeast
as it slowly got its act together. Somewhere between Hutchinson and Wichita, it went tornado warned.
As I got closer to it from the east, this is what it looked like...
It was a slow mover and I followed it to the SW of Wichita. Inflow was garbage for just about
the entire time it was tornado warned, and I could see it was really struggling to maintain itself,
so I wasnt really expecting any tornadic activity, but it was a great looking storm none the less.
The storm eventually lost all its supercell structure and joined other storms in the area to form a squall line.
I got out ahead of it and saw a great looking shelf cloud.
