There were just too many storms that formed in too close of proximity to one another, so it quickly became a big mess out there once the action shifted just east of Cheyenne. Then I saw Dean Cosgrove's images of the Stapleton, Nebraska supercell... and I died a little. LOL. It's been a great season for me photography wise, but also a season that could have yielded so much more, too. Casey: I’m really disappointed in how this day turned out.

This wind direction could be off by 30-40 degrees. This yields a sfc based CAPE of 2300 j/kg. Pumpkin Vine is 67F/53F with se winds at 23 gust 32 mph. So this storm doesnt have to move too far east to be in a good environment. Take that road that goes southwest from Chugwater? Vedauwoo Pass (8400 ft) is 67F/51F with east winds at 17 mph.

Casey Hey Mike,
