<br />. <br /> <br />Nearly three hours later, at 6:13 p.m., three cloud base <br />planes were scrambled to meet an advancing east-west oriented line <br />of storms moving northerly into the southwestern portions of our <br />target area. Seeding began at 6:35 p.m. in southwestern Stanton <br />County with the other two arriving in the same area to help at 6;44 <br />and 6:46 p.m" respectively. At 6:46 p.m, the remaining two cloud <br />base planes were also scrambled and the cloud top plane was put on <br />standby. A larger area of general thunderstorms and rainshowers had <br />developed and the leading edge of the larger area oriented itself <br />from western Hamilton County southeastward across Stanton, Grant <br />and Stevens counties; simultaneously, new clusters of storms <br />developed ahead of it in northern Grant and southern Kearny <br />count~es. Seedi~g was moved to Grant, Kearny, Finney and aaskell <br />count~es as the area of storms moved easterly (with individual <br />storms moving northeasterly). One of the last two scrambled planes <br />did not seed, however, the other began east of Garden City at 7:19 <br />,p.m. The cloud top plane was not launched.
