980529 - VORTEX started the day in Salina, Kansas, after a travel day on 980528. The outlook was for increasing upslope flow and advection of moisture north of the front into western Kansas, western Nebraska, and eastern Colorado. By early afternoon, it became evident that advected moisture was mixing out and the likelihood of convection was small. Operations were terminated and the caravan travelled to Kearney, Nebraska, to set up for operations on the following day.
