heading toward the Cheyenne Ridge

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 4:41 pm

Afternoon update. We just left Wray, CO as I type and we are noticing
a congested Cu field developing along the WY-CO border and adjacent
far southwest NE Panhandle along the Cheyenne Ridge. Unfortunately,
the moisture situation is rather paltry, with just 48to 50 degree
dewpoints from Sidney to Akron. Initial storms have already formed
just east of Cheyenne which are moving east. More devleopment may
occur farther east along the Cheyenne Ridge. We are heading north now
toward Julesburg. It will be a very nice treat if the atmosphere can
produce a high-based supercell today given the CAPE concerns.
