The team are currently having lunch in Fort Morgan - in a diner. 

Target area to be refined as they move north , however there has been an MD issued for eastern Wyoming, a part of the Nebraska border and the MD just covers a small area  of northern Colorado.  

Mesoscale discussion. A mesoscale discussion (MD) is a short-term technical weather forecast (and nowcast) issued by the NOAA National Centers for Environmental Prediction (NCEP) national guidance centers.

It is looking to issuing a weather watch with the potential for severe weather.  Large hail and strong winds.

Sounds promising, hope it comes off for the team. 

[Tom Lynch]

A weather watch has been issued for their target area  the watch covers eastern Wyoming, a section of north Colorado, western South Dakota and western section of Nebraska.  Large hail and damaging wind gusts.  Sever storms can produce a tornado.

So we can expect some good photos.

Cracking day, what a beauty of a storm that was. My first ever chase in Nebraska and boy did it deliver. I'm sure those who can operate a camera will post far better, but this is my offering...
