High based storm updraft
along the palmer divide watching towering cumulus grow into small
at 1:45pm mountain time, am sitting along a farm road just north of
Simla watching towering cu to my southeast to south to southwest….
and the one to the west-southwest is already a small storm on radar.
There are more organized storms on radar west of the palmer divide in
the front range… which are moving in my general direction.

July 12th chase forecast
Since I have to drive back to Dodge City after the chase today, I am a
little more restricted to where I can chase — thus am choosing to
play storms in eastern Colorado (perhaps off the Palmer Divide). The
shear is weaker down here, but there should be enough, given the
moisture/CAPE, for some organized chaseable photogenic storms. I will
probably arrive in Dodge City rather late, perhaps 2 or 3 am CDT… or
earlier if storms don’t materialize as expected.
