Being the first day of the tour, we drove QUICKLY to South Dakota where we caught a decent supercell. Conditions looked good with high instability, decent shear and an outlfow boundary from previous night convection to focus intense convection on. It produced a couple of weak tornadoes before lining out. We then blew it off and drove towards the Bismarck, ND area where we caught a nice sculpted supercell that produced a couple of weak circulations. Check out the pics below.

Rotating, but disorganized updraft base. It was tornado warned at this time.	Weak tornado under the shear line of this storm.
A bit of a stronger tornado under the same area, but getting VERY close to us. Notice the debris being thrown into the air.	We then blew off the old storm for this new storm in North Dakota. There were a couple of very brief and weak tornadoes that occurred with this storm, but we could not get photos of them.
