Burtis and I met up with Blair in LWC and headed toward south central Kansas near the anticipated dryline/cold front intersection. Enhanced cu soon developed near the dryline bulge near the OK/KS border with convection developing shortly after. A supercell eventually evolved near Kingman, KS with the updraft coming into view near Burrton. We followed it to Hesston, KS before letting it go as it seemed to struggle once it propagated off the dryline. Dropped south to a new storm near Medford, OK that appeared impressive via radar observations. About 5 miles east of Winfield, KS, we observed the approaching updraft to the southwest with a blocky wall cloud with wrapping rain soon coming into view. We then moved to near Cambridge, KS where a new area of rotation organized. However, precipitation soon wrapped around this region as well eliminating it from our view. One last updraft was observed to the northeast, south of Severy, KS along Hwy 400 with a brief moment of low level rotation before the storm became outflow dominant.
