5-13-2011 Gentelman's Chase

Didn't really expect much out of today as I am killing a few days in DeKalb, IL with my former roommate Ryan Coomer before heading out on another chasing expedition this weekend. We got on a multicell early that was interacting with a cold front and the lake breeze from Lake Michigan. The storm produced a brief wall cloud and made for a little excitement. A few good chase days in the southern Plains look possible in the offing...

Almost had me excited...
