3:12pm cdt 8/15…The anticipated veering of surface winds from north
to southeast has occurred! I am in Sidney at this time watching
cumulus almost all quads (except southeast)… there are storms over
the Laramie Mountains which will eventually move out onto the plains
of far southeastern Wyoming. At the same time, low level moisture
will continue to advect on the now southeasterly surface flow. I
think it’s still too early to jump on anything quite yet, as storms
may form very near here, so I’d hate to bust west toward Kimball/Pine
Bluffs only to find out that a storm exploded back east near Sidney…
so I’ll sit here for a little bit I think.

Just outside of julesburg near my target area. I’m on the western edge of the goog moisture. There are some weak storms near cheyenne and weld county colorado which will be moving into a better environment over the next couple hours. There is also a congested cu field to my north and northeast but chasing anything that forms in that area will take me into the sand hills. Not sure if I want that play. Ill probably sit tight in the sidney-julesburg area and see how things evolve

Having dinner in great bend at this time with Robin who I chased with for part of the chase. After we split off sje photographed the storm from the northwest while I stayed south. It was gorgeous from both perspectives! Will had back to Dodge after dinner here in Great Bend
