Synopsis: Rob, Jay, and I intercepted a supercell in its formative stage just outside of Burlington, CO. We followed it to southeast of Goodland before we fell behind the storm due to a bad road network and some poor navigating decisions. After about an hour and a half, we caught back up with the storm again near Shields, KS, where we had some very nice, tiered structure off to our north. We followed it east along Highway 4 to Brownell where we ended the chase due to the storm weakening and becoming less photogenic. We drove back to Burlington, CO that night to set up for the next day and pick up Mitch in the morning in Denver. |
