I’m just going to have to be patient. Apparently this little mid
level wave that is coming across the Rockies now is promoting some
slight 500-700mb warm advection right now which is suppressing
development. As the wave gets closer to my target area, though, this
should cease, and with better forcing, should see convective
initiation… I hope. It’s looking like another late show… but if
it anything like yesterday, I need to wait until sunset, because a
storm formed in my target area right at sunset near Chugwater…
sunset is still some 3.5 hours away. the area to my northwest is
still trying to produce towers every now and then… will keep
watching! I’m staying put here along Hwy 26 near Ft. Laramie, WY

Yeah, things are progressing very slowly. I stepped away from the computer for a couple of hours to watch the Yankees game and came back and was surprised that initial development had not happened yet. Looks like you are well placed for any late action, if anything I’d maybe wander a bit farther north. On visible it looks like some discrete towers east of Glendo, and also from southeast of Lusk to north of Douglas. I’d think within the next couple of hours we’ll get something to pop… hopefully.
