Well, the Karval, Colorado storms were rather picturesque with some
banded, barrel-shaped structure (the eastern storm), including a nice
wall cloud. However this did not last very long. The storms died a
rather painful death about 20 minutes after we finally had a good view
at a farm road intersection. Nevertheless, got some okay images. The
best images of the day, by far, were daytime lightning images from the
high-based storms north of Limon earlier in the afternoon. We are
headed to Lamar, CO for the night.

We are getting closer to some kick ass supercell structure!

Finally catching the storms that are “tail end charlie” after driving
for awhile off of I-70. Two adjacent supercells west of us, we are
driving west currently for the intercept.

We are 11 N Arriba on farm roads photographing high-based storms with
photogenic lightning. The storms are about to ingest lower 60s
dewpoints, so we are hoping for a transformation of sorts toward more
significant severe storms. We are heading to I-70 and then east again
to stay ahead of this stuff. We realize we missed the tornado(es) in
SW KS. This was a misforecast on our part. We overanalyzed things,
but that’s part of chasing. Day is not done yet though!
