Synopsis:
I initially targeted the area around Springfield, CO hoping a supercell would form and become long-lived off the Raton Mesa, but once it became clear that wasn't going to happen, I bolted north to intercept an already established supercell storm rolling southeast off the Palmer Divide. I intercepted this storm near Sheridan Lake, following it southeast toward Tribune, KS. Additional storms formed farther south and east, including a supercell I watched develop east of me north of Garden City which I followed back home (fortunately it missed my house!) |
