at 1:30pm MDT, I am northeast of Denver along I-76 by about 25 miles.
There’s a bit of a moisture problem out here! I expected a moisture
deficiency, but man, upper 30s to lower 40s dewpoints? LOL. What did
I get myself into. There will still be storms developing and moving
out onto the adjacent plains later on this afternoon/evening, but the
moisture problem is… a problem! The saving grace will be strong
500mb cold advection and vigorous upper support coming out with
another shortwave trough rotating around the base of the longwave
trough. My focus will probably be lightning in this CAPE deficient
environment. I’ll probably loiter around this area for awhile
watching the cumulus percolate over the front range and foothills.
