Hays (Kansas) > Dodge City > circling around > Dodge City (Kansas) > very nice mammatus!

Today SPC is forecasting an MDT along the Kansas / Oklahoma border region. We are now in Hays and decide to move south to Rush Center, then west to Scott City. From there we again move south to Garden City and stop to find out how things develop.

Using our laptop and an open WiFi point we observe the situation. We should head more east and south so our next target is Dodge City. It seems we are to late to intercept some severe storms and we stop a few miles south of Dodge City along the highway 283.

We note a fine cloudy display of dimishing severe weather about one hour before sunset. On our way back to Dodge City we drive through a storm. In front of our Super 8 Motel we note the nice clouds and formation of some mammatus. To have a better view we drive to a better viewpoint outside the city. Here we observe the finest mammatus clouds during our stormchase tour 2008!
