Chasers: Mike Umscheid (solo). Target: Two targets are in mind late
this evening. Primary target is northeast Colorado in favorable moist
upslope. Secondary target is the front itself across central/southern
Nebraska where 4000+ J/kg CAPE will exist with adequate mid-upper flow
for supercells. The decision on which target to chase will be made
early Thursday morning.

Thank you for the incredible colors!
Well, I may not have seen a well-sculpted supercell or even a tornado
this evening, but as a fine art photographer, the evening was a
success. Photographers light was simply amazing with some of the
deepest pinks, violets, and blues I have seen all season. What a way
to cap off the vacation! The storm I photographed in the saturated
colors wasn’t all that bad, with even a “tornado look-alike” hanging
down from the base! No one will ever know the difference!! This is
the reason I chase out here. I’m heading to Sidney for the night.

outflow garbage
Outflow dominance rulz the world. Or at least where I’m chasing right
now. I’ve seen enough outflow scud to last several lifetimes. If
this doesn’t improve in the next 30 to 45 minutes, chase is over and
going to head to the nearest motel.

in-situ update
I am along Hwy 85 watching aggressive new growth just to my north. I
am hoping this will become the new action. Outflow boundaries from
the northern storm and also the storm farther south in Weld County had
collided. I am not sure what to expect now. I have a fairly warm
southeast wind, so I am keeping my fingers crossed. The northern
storm tripped the WSR-88D TVS algorithm, but looking at velocity data,
there was some bad improperly dealiased velocities that the algorithm
tripped on. there is no TVS with that Hawk Springs storm. More in a
bit perhaps.
