The day's weather models seemed to be battling each other haha!
Things were frustratingly disagreeing and changing on each run.
I wasn't even sure if I was even going out to chase, BUT if I did, my target area that I was watching was the Carlyle to Wawota SK area.
I procrastinated too long on if it was worth it or not (as it is about a 2 hr drive, and did not want to go for nothing), and by the time I decided on what to do, the storms were already taking bloom.
With that said, forming in much more than my targeted area. I seen a nice storm forming to the West of me that was going to be moving into the Ituna region and another one South of Melville. I chose Ituna and away I went!
Once I got to Ituna, blasted South and decided to Core Punch the cell to get to the South side of the storm to see what there was for structure.
While Core Punching, had over 70+ km winds read on my anemometer as well as got pelted with small hail for a short time.
Once I got past, sadly everything was too high based and outflow-dominant. The temps went from +24c before going through to +13 on the South side.
I observed for a bit to make sure it wasn't going to regrow in strength and then decided to "head home while chasing" so to speak haha.
I went through Balcarres and then back North through Melville where I got in line with some storms that were forming along that path.
They too were high based and like the storm I had before, looked much better on radar then in person.
I did manage to get a couple cool shots of some minor structure along the side of the storm before making my way back home.
Overall, fun 1st chase for 2022 and it was a good run to work out the kinks in my Live Stream! Had audio issues, but got them fixed while on this chase!
