Update from the team.

After a lunch stop in Chewmycanary , New Mexico, the team wended their way through the Panhandles into Texas, Oklahoma, and then into Colorado..  Storms where moving in from the Rockies their direction was to the north east.

Here is a brief but artistic account from Paul.

'What an amazing day. Targeted Lamar to Limon as a target and a beautiful Supercell or 2 rolled through that area in the late afternoon and evening. Props to NAM which nailed this. Just a sneak peak off the back of Paul Hunters Camera (IPhone shot) but some stunning pictures were taken today. Ending the day in Limon.'

I have attached a radar grab which I

took a couple of hours before interception took place. Shortly after this the storm went severe warned.

I 

I am sure the team will post some stunning photos later.

Team currently in Limon and may need an earlyish start if they are going for the Nebraska/South Dakota area. It could be over 250 miles. nothing in the grand scheme of things.
