From Colorado Springs- Moderate risk Today!

Well It looks like my afternoon post didn't post so that pisses me off a little. =( Anyways sitting in Colorado Springs currently looking at the beautiful snow capped mountains. Looking to head south within the half hour and race southeast to the Texas Panhandle. Where SPC has upgraded to a moderate risk with 5% tornado risk but 45% hatched for severe hail. They look like slow movers and will mature into HP supercells or mergers. So that sucks but hopefully they'll hold off till around 5 or 6 when we actually get there. First 45 mins of the storms will be the best to watch and max tornado potential. Well I need to get packed up and head south on the highway.

Yesterday was a pretty fun day with three seperate storm intercepts. Got pounded by pea to dime size hail that accumulated up to 3 inches on the roadway. Beautiful structure and a couple nice size wall clouds. However they're kinda higher base and never rotated. Hopefully today will be a good day and that moisture axis rides up the lee side of the Rockies. Later!

Target Location- Far NE New Mexico and Nw Texas Panhandle
