Chase Day 16 Reports and Pictures

[Paul Sherman]

Short Version

 

Target was Cheyenne Wells and a storm duly fired about 15 miles south of there, we sat under the base for about 1/2 an hour and then followed it North, it briefly put on some LP Supercell structure throughout the day but the big give away as to why the bases were so high was the lack of low level moisture being advected into the area and the drying out in the mid levels. Largest hail we found was sporadic golf balls, this day never really excited me much and was pretty easy to just ride along a North to South Highway for much of the day from Tribune to the I-70 Corridoor.

 

Hoping for better on the 25th May further North

The biggest hail I have seen is about pea sized!!! Doesn't hail that size dent cars?

Only if you are really unlucky Paul, cricket ball size and bigger make a hell of a bang and will take out windows as well as denting the metalwork.
