The last few days in Kansas Wednesday
held the last three days back some surprises for us. This is not for the weather because the few Slight Risks that have been emerging for Saturday and this Monday revealed nothing more than a few dense clouds (cu and tcu under cover). The shearing was usually more bad than good and did close on the wedge is always' little bit of arrogance. The so there was no significant storms, we could report on, we talk a couple of other nice stories that have happened in the past 72 hours.
On Saturday we started in Lenexa and went then to another typical motel breakfast (some bagels, bad coffee and some waffles or toast) to the southwest on Interstate 35 to the southwest. The objective was the border to Oklahoma, there was given to a quasi-stationary front, the potential for a few isolated thunderstorms. If the lid had not been stopped, then we might also be a few rich meteorological impressions were, instead, but did extend into the late afternoon, little and we drove across the south of Wichita slightly undulating plains to the east towards Arkansas (pronounced Arkänsas) City . This little nest we reached in the shimmering, sweltering heat of late afternoon (there were so around the 31 ° C at 18 ° C dew point) and we were looking for a dining and drinking opportunities. The fumble was true even for something along the main road north, we made the "Coffee Club", a small restaurant to a Colombian who has specialized in the region, good, real coffee and delicious cakes delivered. On the weekends off and takes place at even karaoke, as we on the superstructures in addition to the tables and were able to find after 17 clock slowly arrive (older) guests. It was factual and correct nice there, especially since the owner of the Coffee Club, a friend from Germany, had the times he promptly called to tell him the fact that a Group of German Stormchaser in the sleepy east of I-35 had arrived.
Not ten minutes later the couple was there and we spent two pleasant hours with the two in the pub. There was a lot to tell, it comes from the Hunsrück, he's German-Americans and four years both live in Arkansas City.
This was really only one of several interesting encounters, we could make in the last three weeks here in the Great Plains. It comes very quickly with people talking and many seem simply to have more time than one is accustomed to in our area. The kindness of many people is a bit unusual, but "we" could be are quite a few slices cut from it.
The evening brought us ... no, again no storms, but a magnificent sunset with a lively, warm, sultry east wind and a few distant CB anvils in the west (see pictures). After a night in the new and great ADAPTED "Comfort Inn" (including pool) in Blackwell, Oklahoma, it went into another day of humidity with a morning sky filled with altocumulus. Once again we arrived at the reception due to the fact that we are actually Stormchaser into conversation and it was not until the motel landlady called her son from Blackwell, who just happened to have time and we only have like a couple of quarters in the city showed the severe tornado moved in 1955, traces of which can be seen to this day ...
afternoon we drove over Wichita East towards Fredonia (oh yes, sometimes the very exotic place names here), where we waited again to initiate (if oppressive 27 over 21!) And a lot of low clouds. At a gas station with a monstrous parking lot we ran into another Stormchaser from Wichita, Kansas. Jay (or Jack?) Waited like us to "Action" and we chatted a little about supercells, the potential of that day and the really bad May and also about the good weather in March and April in which there was already an few dozen tornadoes in the Plains and had been in the Midwest. His SUV was packed with Jay Equipment, from the laptop (to receive data via wireless and satellite) using scanners and CB radios to thoroughly professional cameras was almost all there. At about 17:30 we decided to drive to the north, it should happen in Südostkansas anything, only further east in Missouri. The night of yesterday to today we planned to vebringen in Ottawa, KS. We had chosen for the Travelodge near the interstate. The problem: the smell of the room (it smelled kind of orange, we could not quite place and assumed a prior treatment with any insecticide) and the condition of the beds and towels. After about an hour we decided to stay for a very rapid, premature check-out and drove to Emporia, KS, in a much more pleasant Comfort Inn.
Today then, the last day before our journey home, a day with easterly winds, 28 ° C and a dew point of about 19 ° C. You get used to this air, it's almost pleasant and the humidity of the skin is doing well anyway). The Slight Risk, and the couple of thunderstorms in the south and southeast Kansas we have not considered properly, it's just still not able to really violent weather in the Plains. A bit of frustration as to make the balance sheet is already wide when you consider that you actually "wild weather" particularly for and then you come here only three days of 19 to see something. This May was extremely unusual, far too quiet for the Plains and anyway hats with the large-scale circulation patterns do not cut this time executed. Tomorrow and Wednesday now increases the risk for supercells and tornadoes from South Dakota and Nordkansas ... and we fly home tomorrow. When the time is not the end! But what the hell, we will be back next year, if not come back the following year and again enjoy the Plains, the landscape, the people and the size ... then storms are

Jacksonville Florida Gloryholes
Once Iowa and back
It's Friday night, no, just now it was Saturday and we sit in a nice motel called the Comfort Inn in Kansas City metro, specifically in Lenexa. The last two days we spent with friends of mine in the small university town of Ames, about 30 miles north of Des Moines, Iowa. After Tuesday night we arrived in Des Moines and at the same time the large pool of a local motel chain had used extensively, it was on Wednesday in search of thunderstorms in the east towards Eastern Iowa and Northern Illinois. Unfortunately, nothing came of it, as I think I probably know this mentioned, we received only the backs of some cells visible (see images to remote TCUs), because in our region, unfortunately, does not create a cloud, a little "evil" to be.
spent the night of Thursday, we in the house that is visible in the top left, a real American home that has relaxed its 120 years on his back, and has also withstood every storm. Well, a large tree near it has swept away last year half, but the garden is large enough, the building was off slightly. The hosts were very nice, a nice evening with the finest BBQ could not be missed. On Thursday, the day showed us Scott, a meteorology and environmental science student is at Iowa State University, the nearby Ledges State Park This is a wooded area west of Ames, with deep valleys, some rivers and rock walls. Iowa is not only flat ...
The images of the storm yesterday, we have already presented good, it remains to say that it is cool to 23:30 local time last night in Ames, only about 13 ° C was. Fleece-sweaters we were standing outside on the field. Today, then the stark contrast, blue skies and intense sunshine pushed the temperature to extreme levels. Des Moines came at midday to about 27 ° C, on our way to Kansas City we went not been without air conditioning and when we arrived in KC, there were about 33 ° C. Even some three hours, to 21:00 still "warm" 29 ° C. Crazy Plains. Of cold and wind to sweltering heat, there are sometimes all within 24 hours ...
Tomorrow it goes to the state border Kansas / Oklahoma. There could develop some supercells.
Until then,
Kerstin, and Lars Julian aka "the crew"
