5/22/2016 - western Nebraska supercells

Began the day in Scottsbluff, NE after busting on an Wyoming upslope play the day before (~1100 mile bust ... and, even worse, I missed the 5/21 Leoti, KS long-lived supercell due to by stubbornness about not chasing around gobs of people). This particular day was a slight risk play that really never could sustain good storms for longer than about an hour or so. Storms fired near LBF, and I latched onto the initial cell north of Maxwell. This supercell looked good for a bit, but eventually fell apart. Another supercell formed along the east flank of the initial storm; however, once again, this storm looked good for a bit, but eventually quickly died north of Arnold before sunset.
