From Hutchinson, KS, our group headed west to the High Plains of eastern CO.\u00a0 The flow aloft was adequately strong and from the northwest, and moisture was barely enough for CAPE values of 1000 to 1500.\u00a0 Plenty of sunshine was baking the landscape during the afternoon, and a cumulus field sent up a few towers near Vona, along I-70.\u00a0 SPC was mildly enthusiastic about supercell prospects, with a “see text” and 5% hail graphic in this area.\u00a0 As expected, the first strong updraft to develop was high based.\u00a0 We watched it drift to the south through southern Kit Carson County.<\/p>\n

The cell provided some interesting photo ops, but it fell a bit short in terms of overall storm structure from our perspective.\u00a0 The storm weakened and I elected to head farther west, to catch some new activity along the Palmer Divide between Limon and Castle Rock.\u00a0 We stopped at a high point near the Kiowa water tower and went into lightning-shooting mode after sunset, with some success.\u00a0 Thereafter, we found rooms in Castle Rock, and I headed up to Littleton to catch the last few minutes of my nephew’s wedding reception!\u00a0 Congratulations Bradley and Sarah!<\/p>\n
