June 24 TWISTEX Update

Status: On-The-Road
Location: Terril, IA -- Ames, IA -- Pierre, SD

12:15 AM Update: Reached our destination for the night of Pierre, SD; staying at our trusty Super 8 once again. Getting some information on the setup for tomorrow before we head to bed... Ended the day with 628 miles traveled over approx. 10 1/2 hours total.

4:00 PM Update: In Ames now, awaiting for the team to assemble up and hit the road. We're still really unsure about where we are going for the night, but I'll update when we get to that unknown destination.

11:30 AM Update: Quick update once again as things have been put together quickly for a trip to North Dakota. After seeing the last couple of days and how they have came together in Canada, it isn't a huge surprise that we've decided to make it at least a 1 day trip up there to get in on the action. Too bad we couldn't have seen the last 2 days of tornadoes in southern Manitoba...

The ISU crew is hitting the road today to get closer to the target in central ND tomorrow, unsure of our departure from Ames and where exactly we'll spend the night. I'll update tonight once we get into our destination for today with more details...
The Samaras crew is hitting the roads already in hopes of gaining some large hail in Montana today. SPC's latest outlook upgraded to moderate risk due to the large hail risk over portions of MT/ND. It is unsure where they'll spend the night as well as it will be based on their location after todays' chasing.

Update likely tonight to adjust location and put out an actual forecast on the events for tomorrow...
