Morning forecast sheet for the day's chase.

Traveling near the IA/MO border beginning to near the storm with anvil structure becoming visible.

Impressive wall cloud with a textbook tail cloud and a possible funnel near , MO.

Rear flank gustfront on the trailing end of the storm looking to the west.

Leading edge of the RFD with a positive lightning discharge.

Rain bands associated with the RFD move eastward from left to right.

Monster inflow tail continues to be drawn into the storm as we head northward.

Watching this lowering for anything suspicious while pushing north before turning east.

Another shot of the dramatic tail cloud looming over the road and a chase crew pulled over.

Now outflow-looking storm structure on the lowering, resembling more of a shelf cloud rather than a wall cloud.
