Tempest had a “tour turnaround” day on July 1, and that was a great day for one of these as the central High Plains were quiet for the most part. \u00a0Tour 9 began on July 2, and moisture was returning to the central Plains beneath modest WNW flow aloft. \u00a0We got out of Denver late morning, lunched in Fort Morgan, and headed for the Ogallala area. \u00a0SPC had a slight risk here, but tornado chances today were extremely low as low-level moisture was just too sparse still. \u00a0Regardless, there was more than enough instability and shear for severe weather.<\/p>\n

This day started out somewhat disastrously as I left one of my camera bags at the base hotel in Denver —- outside! \u00a0I failed to stick it inside of the van as we loaded everything right before leaving. \u00a0I discovered that it was not in the van in the mid-afternoon when we stopped to watch some storms north of Tryon, Nebraska. \u00a0The bag had a camera and a couple of frequently-used lenses, so I was sick. \u00a0I called the hotel. \u00a0Thank goodness — someone had found it and gave it to the front desk clerk! \u00a0They kept it safe for me and I got it back at the end of the tour — whew! \u00a0Meanwhile, decent storms were developing in the Sandhills. \u00a0My other camera bag contained a camera and two lenses, so I was not out of business!<\/p>\n\n\t\t
