Well finally a fun day of chasing as we experienced some very nice storm structure, couple mid level funnels, quarter to golf ball size hail and a couple rugged wall clouds. Unfortunately we stayed on the first tornado warned storm too long. As another storm developed about 45 minutes south of us that did produce a couple tornadoes. Kinda upset about it but it's definitely the name of the game out here storm chasing. Let the crap shoot begin! I'll try to post a picture or two later but right now this computer isn't liking my camera.
Alright ,now on to today and what looks to be in my opinion better than yesterday's potential. As very moist air especially for up here against the mountains will interact with some cooling aloft and strong mid level flow. This will likely create CAPE in excess of 3,000 j/kg in spots with effective shear 45-55kts. Helicity values(turning of the winds) are in excess of 250 later this afternoon creating the possibilities of some tornadoes. So with that all being said and the CAP(lid on the atmosphere) being a little weaker and some energy coming out of the southwest. I believe today we'll track a couple isolated supercells with great structure, large hail and a couple tornadoes. Hopefully we won't get into some bad roads like yesterday and will pick the right storm.
Here is the latest outlook from SPC- Only a slight risk now but wouldn't be surprised for a moderate risk area across eastern Colorado or at least a increase in hail and tornado potential.
Alright that's it for now and once again the Live Streaming Dash Cam will be up and running after 2pm Mountain time.....See Ya Then!
