The first of what appeared to be a few chase days in a row before I needed to return home. I had a flight Tuesday morning for a work trip, so it seemed Monday would be my last chase day. Originally it seemed like Monday’s target area would be much further northeast, but it ended up setting up in North Central Kansas.
