5/7/2023 Departure day 2023

Targeted west-central Iowa. Early elevated storm/storms worked over the airmass north of the stationary / warm front. Timing of the lead storm was somewhat unfortunate and sent outflow down in all quadrants. Set eyes to the west for developing convection ahead of the next wave and on nose of a low-level jet. Watched line of storms in the Red Oak to Essex, IA corridor. A couple of interesting mesos, and even a brief tornado warning. Structure was okay, but a bit grungy aloft due to the significant amount of convection. Overnighted in Council Bluffs, IA.
