6/7 - 10:30am MDT - On Our Way to Central Kansas

We ate lunch at the Village Inn near our hotel this morning and now we're on our way to Central Kansas. Instability and shear are looking VERY good this morning out in Eastern Kansas, but we would like to intercept any potential cells that may form early on.

Here's what the CAPE (instability) is looking like for this afternoon:


With CAPE potentially surpassing the 3000 J/KG mark, there's obviously some excitement in the air!

We'll likely end up in Northeastern Kansas tonight when it's all said and done, and I can already tell you that there will be a ton of chasers in that area. VORTEX2 and the TIV (Tornado Intercept Vehicle) could show up at some point in our travels today, so I'll be sure to post pictures if we see them!

I'll be posting quick updates on Twitter when we get into the thick of things this afternoon, so be sure to follow my feed: http://twitter.com/ryan_weather
