Tour 2, my first tour of 2020 (with Chris G.), started off on the slow side as moisture was in short supply on the Plains. \u00a0We headed to the Palmer Divide of Colorado from Oklahoma. \u00a0Prospects for this day were not very good, but at least the next day showed better promise on the High Plains. \u00a0Eastern Colorado had moderate upslope flow with dew points in the mid 40s, but it was on the cool side near the Palmer Divide with plenty of stratocumulus clouds around. \u00a0Development was quite late, which was good because we had a long drive! \u00a0Some low-topped and barely-organized cells around sunset (and thereafter) dragged us east a little to Ramah (wsw of Limon). \u00a0 I don’t recall any lightning with these, but there were millions of miller moths descending upon our position as it got dark. \u00a0Yes, MILLIONS. \u00a0The MILLER MOTH rating was MM5.<\/p>\n

A whole bunch of these managed to get inside the van. \u00a0On the way to Limon for the night, I rolled the window down, held a bright flashlight outside the van, and the moths made their way back to the great outdoors. \u00a0 And Chris told us his moth joke. \u00a0Maybe.<\/p>\n

I think I took one picture on this chase day. \u00a0Enjoy!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
