The start of Tour 6 was tomorrow, and we were in Denver for the T5\/T6 tour turnaround. \u00a0The afternoon of the 13th was looking like a possible upper-end chase day on the High Plains, and SPC drew a big, fat enhanced slight risk from the OK Panhandle to the NE Panhandle. \u00a0It looked to me like southeastern Colorado might be a little better then northeastern Colorado, but we were on a leash and had to finish up the chase day within a couple of hours of Denver. \u00a0Hopefully the Palmer Divide play would work — parameters looked good overall, but low-level moisture and upslope flow were just so-so and tornado expectations were not high. But, it is Colorado in June, right?!<\/p>\n

We headed out towards Deer Trail and Agate, and watched a storm develop west of Agate. \u00a0This one sputtered and eventually strengthened, and moved north. \u00a0It was never able to organize and look good, and it went into sputter mode again. \u00a0We tried to salvage something west of Last Chance to Brush, but the storms were junk. \u00a0As we motored back to the hotel near the Denver Airport, we stopped on an overpass and enjoyed the sunset and double rainbow.<\/p>\n
