July 17/22 - Mothership by North Grove SK

July 17, 2022
Severe/Tornado Warned Storm between Liberty - Tuxford SK Canada

Insane storm structure as I stood near North Grove looking West

This day’s forecasting was a challenge! I was seeing a couple different options. One being Weyburn and South (which ended up having a nice storm and dropped a Tornado) and another setup around Raymore. I chose Raymore region and away I went.

Sat in crazy muggy 30+ Degree heat while waiting, and waiting and waiting.
Boundaries forming all over, including my spot! Line of clouds would form and then die off. Form and then die off, over and over again.

Nothing was happening.

The Storms South of Weyburn began to fire up. My side .... still nothing.
Finally, around 5 pm North of Lucky Lake (to my West) a storm began to form on Radar. I waiting to see what direction it was taking and also was cautious of “jumping the gun” aka heading to the storm and missing a storm at my spot.

I let it run a few radar scans and then away I went!

Around 6:30 pm it was looking insane on radar as I was right around Liberty trying to get more South as it was moving straight East at me, and it sucks trying to get storm photos when you are cored in hail and rain and can’t see anything haha.

7 pm, I was heading towards Craik as photos on twitter began to pop up of the beautiful storm structure happening between Grainland, Central Butte &Tugaske (also showing rotation on radar).

7:15 pm I was still working my way South while also trying NOT to get cored in this system as I made my way towards Chamberlain.

7:37 pm I was near North Grove looking West at some INSANE storm structure !!!!

After enjoying that for some time, blasted further South to not get stuck within the core.
I headed towards Tuxford where around 8 pm I found myself in front on an angry lowering with my anemometer clocking wind speeds from 110 - 121 km !!!!

From there, I was too far back to ever catch up to the storm that now is just moving, so sat back and watched the beautiful system from the back end as it made it’s way East towards Manitoba.

What a hell of a beautiful chase day!!!
