Well, this day worked out nicely, at least logistically. \u00a0It was the last chase for Tour 7, out of Denver. \u00a0And, the target area today was…Denver! Actually it was about 20 miles south of Denver. \u00a0Close enough. \u00a0Nice easterly upslope flow would mean plenty of shear for rotating updrafts. \u00a0Dew points were still mainly 50F or lower, but SPC saw fit to stick a small 5 percent tornado circle along and east of I-25 near Monument.<\/p>\n

As often happens along the Front Range, the activity got off to an early start. \u00a0After lunch in Castle Rock, we drove about ten miles to get a little east of a developing supercell. \u00a0Yes, it was high based, but kind of cute, with a little wall cloud.<\/p>\n
