Details
A striated updraft tower came into view near Gallatin, I let it slide by to the west as it looked like it was in HP mode.
A ragged wall cloud drifted into view at sunset and the storm was warned for tornadoes. The storm quickly gusted out, however, and I called the chase at dusk.
Conclusion
This was a rather low expectations chase, but given the distance and lack of noteworthy or photogenic structure this was a bust.
