Some good energy out west was moving over the High Plains this day, and instability was looking really good in parts of western Nebraska and northeastern Colorado and adjacent areas. \u00a0SPC upgraded to an enhanced slight during the afternoon, but kept tornado prospects low, at 2 percent. \u00a0An assortment of SPC maps in the mesoscale discussions above will provide some info on the meteorology this day. \u00a0I elected to play the higher CAPE area of southwestern Nebraska, but the storms here (near Imperial) were rather junky and not well-organized. \u00a0In the meantime, tornadic storms were cranking in the Laramie and Cheyenne areas…darn. \u00a0I had not considered that area. \u00a0Was the upper-level energy too far west still during the afternoon convection for my target area around extreme northeastern Colorado? \u00a0Perhaps. \u00a0I have effectively forgotten the details from this day.<\/p>\n\n\t\t
