WED 28 MAY
We left our hotel in Loveland (CO) reasonably early to drive quite a few hours to our target of Syracuse (KS), after picking up some lunch (and a weather radio!) en-route in Lamar (CO). Convection was already bubbling nicely across SE Colorado and SW Kansas upon our arrival to Syracuse, so we nudged south to Johnson (KS) to take a closer look. A nice left-split supercell evolved just to our NW with a high base, and shot off to the ENE at a reasonable speed, while the remaining cluster between Johnson and Manter (KS) appeared slower moving and rather messy. A brief tornado was reported NW of Menard, but we couldn't see it from our location (most likely obscured by rain from our vantage point). After some back and forth to try and work out which storm would be best to track, a degree of upscaling occurred and it became a case of trying to get ahead of this SE'ward advancing cluster of storms, with embedded very large hail and rotation evident on radar.
