This chase day was generally difficult, messy, long and disappointing. \u00a0A moderate risk was splattered up and down the High Plains from Burlington to Dimmitt. \u00a0A large 15-percent-hatched tornado risk was drawn from Colby to Kim. \u00a0Big-time dynamics were spreading over the Plains, with decent dew points into the low 60s into southeastern Colorado! \u00a0Well, things went downhill early, as storms went up by noon near the Raton Mesa. \u00a0 Anvil cloudiness was soon spreading over the prime target area of southeastern Colorado and western Kansas. \u00a0Plenty of junky elevated storms had me running around a bit near the CO\/KS border, east of Lamar. \u00a0I finally figured things out and headed west towards Sheridan Lake and Chivington to get in front of a storm that was moving to the NNE, near Lamar. \u00a0Apparently it produced a brief tornado near Wiley before we were close. \u00a0We stopped on CR49 a few miles southwest of Chivington, and watched a well-organized storm base approach. \u00a0It was tornado-warned as it moved just to our west and northwest, and precip curtains swept around a suspicious lowered area.<\/p>\n
