Heading home. It will be a very late arrival to DDC, and I will
likely have to stop at least once for a shut eye. ETA to DDC 3 or
4am, glad I called work to come in at 10am! Will get images uploaded
tomorrow night sometime. Very good stormscapes with rich colors,
contrast, foreground subjects… and CG lightning to cap things off!
Well worth it! Go lower-mid 40s dewpoints!

Looking west from a location about 15 northeast of ftr collins. Must be patient. Still think fairly aggressive developent is likey as the cold advection in thje mid levels increases. Small storm north of cheyenne looks interesting at times visually but that is too far north since I have to drive back to dodge city tonite

at 1:30pm MDT, I am northeast of Denver along I-76 by about 25 miles.
There’s a bit of a moisture problem out here! I expected a moisture
deficiency, but man, upper 30s to lower 40s dewpoints? LOL. What did
I get myself into. There will still be storms developing and moving
out onto the adjacent plains later on this afternoon/evening, but the
moisture problem is… a problem! The saving grace will be strong
500mb cold advection and vigorous upper support coming out with
another shortwave trough rotating around the base of the longwave
trough. My focus will probably be lightning in this CAPE deficient
environment. I’ll probably loiter around this area for awhile
watching the cumulus percolate over the front range and foothills.
