Earlier today, on our way to a North Dakota target, we stopped and did a little sightseeing! #SPOTTR

#SPOTTR Day 1: Our 2300 UTC sounding from Anamosa, IA revealed:
✅ Instability
✅ Moisture
✅ Lift
❌ No shear for you!
Result: Pulse storms and multicell clusters

Our #SPOTTR class launched a radiosonde this morning to help NWS Indianapolis collect extra upper air data in advance of today's storms! It was great training for our upcoming trip! Photo from @paige-ashlyn-h.bsky.social. #inwx
