08/17/09 NOW: CO

I don't think there are many folks watching, but there is a very nice tornado warned cell going on right now in Elbert and Lincoln Counties in Colorado. The tops are showing at 47k with 77dBZ on my GRLevel3

Been watching that one all afternoon. Already one reported on ground near Kutch. Massive hail in it, too.

I'm finding it interesting how this storm has gobbled up the smaller one that formed quickly to it's southeast while everything behind it is still headed east-northeast.

New storm looked like it went up to its west a bit ago and now NW of the first sup. the new one is now starting to turn.

I've been watching that one also. During the past four frames on the radar, the first storm has slowed in its southeastward movement and become more linear to the southwest. I question whether they will continue the warning for that one even though the tops are running 52k now with 73dBZ.

EDIT: Well, I guessed wrong.... they extended the warning for 45 more minutes.
