A large slight (and embedded enhanced slight) risk area was painted for the High Plains today, from about Oshkosh to Earth. This was along a weak surface low pressure area with good instability. But the name of the game would be strong outflow winds with the late afternoon convection, as low-level moisture was so-so and cloud bases would be on the high side. SPC didn’t even show a 2% tornado risk.
We did a bunch of driving around in northeastern Colorado as I tried to find a storm that was worthwhile and catchable. I headed up to Sidney from Sterling for some southern Nebraska Panhandle storms, but these were not too good. Finally a rather robust and more compact cell was noted to our south, back towards Sterling. Figures.
We dropped south around Chappell to west of Julesburg, and observed an interesting left-mover to our SW and W and NW. Thereafter we played with a complex of nasty windbags on the way to Ogallala for the night.
These five images were with the Canon and wide angle lens, west of Julesburg.
