Chase Day 13 - Se Colorado & Ok Panhandle

[Paul]

The team are targeting SE Colorado / Oklahoma panhandle area today. It's a 'see text' risk day today, with a chance of supercells later.

Live stream will be online when they hit the road:

Making our way to Boise City, OK for some lunch, I think it's subway time, Paul's favourite!

Should be back now. Had a problem with the laptop overheating so had to let it cool down under the aircon for 15 minutes. Back up and running now and sat under a CU field with cells trying to pop up!

Nice and clear feed

[Arron]

We're going to start to head north ready for tomorrow's chase, this just doesn't look like doing anything but we'll be driving alongside a wee storm so if anything happens we'll be next to it

[dallas]

You staying in Kansas tonight?

[Arron]

Yep, Hays I think unless we get storm detoured!

[Stu Robinson]

Team Stu started the day in Lamar, Colorado and picked a target of NE Colorado (Wray) for storms to form off the dryline. And move NE into deeper moisture. I am still shocked that I re-targeted and intercepted tail end storms near to White river South Dakota!!

The tail end cell looked good for a while (Even had a reported Wall cloud) which I did not see. I am now in Valentine Nebraska and will 100% hook up with the NW team tomorrow.

Best supercell we could find today, better chances tomorrow

[Roger J Smith]

Today (Wed) looks promising with activity likely to peak around 01z (8 pm CDT) and supercells forming in Nebraska to northeast Colorado, spilling into northern Kansas during the outbreak. It will be extremely hot in the regions south of I-70 with highs likely to reach 40 C in southwest KS and the OK-TX panhandle regions. Around 32 C in northern KS and 25 C in Nebraska. Cells may develop along a frontal boundary but there should be a trend for strongest activity to form late afternoon near CO-NE border (that in itself spells tornado) and run approximately parallel to KS-NE border.
