2012-06-07 REPORTS: CO/WY

[J Allen]

Couldn't find a thread for this day (somewhat surprisingly), so thought I would start one.

Brad (chase partner) chased the Palmer divide as a large number of others did, intially getting a little distracted by the junk heading northeast before heading south to intercept an epic HP supercell west of Limon, CO. He had the torn problem of wanting to be in close to see if anything would happen on the tornado front, but also wanting to get the distance such that he could fit the structure in the confines of his wide angle shots. Fortunately he managed to do a great job and got some stunning structure and colours in another great chase. As I am unable to upload the pictures directly from the site, the full blog post for the day can be found here:

Impressive pictures. Do you know what time you observed that cone funnel? We (my university) was on that same storm, and there's been a lot of internal debate as to whether or not we actually saw a funnel/tornado.

My Write Up of This Day, was a toss up to stay much further South and East for Structure or get in close for the Calhan Tornado, like the first poster tried to do a bit of both. Great DVCZ Day this!
