I think your discussion said it all... There's nothing to discuss yet - we need some storms to fire first ;>Larry J. Kosch
Storms in CO and KS
We need to have the NOW heading changed to include CO, KS and NM. There are a few strong storms developing in Southeast CO Southwest KS and Eastern NM. I really like the visible statellite of that storm in NM. It's so huge it looks like a bright shining silver dollar laying on the landscape.The height of that storm on the NWS radar is really impressive too.
I'm hoping there's a few chasers in CO and NM following these storms. 8) LJK.Austin Ivey

That storm near Roswell looks awesome on satellite and good on radar. Td spreads are quite high so not sure about tornadic possibilities but I sure wish I could have been down there today. Since the storm is moving near Roswell surely some reports about the storm will surface.Mike Peregrine

Great - the tor-watch box shows up near my target for yesterday ... nothing like being a day late and a dollar short ... if I can make it up there in time, great - but looks like the storms are already building in so. Iowa ...rdale

Seeing a lot of cell splitting with the storms in S Iowa and over Lake Michigan...mrobinson
Tornado watch is up in NE Colorado with a cell firing on or about Greeley. I see its now listed as severe. Here comes the night time severe. Good luck to everyone who ventured to Colorado today

fellow stormtracker Walker Ashley is on the CO supercell right now and said it has some mid-level rotation on it with about 1.5" hail and a large base. Still has time to evolve though so we'll see....
edit to add: looks like the eagle is trying to fly.

On the phone now with Kenneth McCallister who is also on the cell in Colorado near fort Morgan. He says the storms is impressive but they cant see the reason for the tornado warning at this time unless it may be rain wrapped. Storm is broad with a rain free base but is also quite high based. He is with the weathervine group I believe alogn with many other chasers moving East just ahead of the cell on I-76.....GO KENNETH!Jason A.C. Brock
Lots of blowing dust from the storm at Fort Morgan & 50-60mph RFD winds being reported at this time. No tornado has been sited by the group Im on the phone with but a gustnado or two has been seen.rdale

An _intense_ amount of lightning with the storms just west of Lansing and coming out of Chi-town... 2" hail, wind damage, and plenty of flooding reported around IL/WI.Ben Pinette

Yay, night chases are my favorite! :roll: Not chasing this one at all, but I will be out locally spotting for anything. Thinking I'll play Livingston and keep working south with the line to the Lenawee/Monroe area before calling it quits. Hope everyone on the CO sup is having a great time!Ben Pinette

And looking at radar, I should be leaving now! A little bit of back-building on those guys headed into Lansing. Unfortunately, GRR radar is still down from that line that went through earlier today.Jeff Lawson

Well, at least the Fort Morgan storm is cooperating as far as road network is concerned. Just have to jump off I-76 and continue east on Hwy. 34.
Here's hoping no one mistakenly stays on the Interstate thinking it continues due east, driving straight into the core!Austin Ivey

Jim Cantore just stated on TWC 2 min ago that spotters reported a tornado on the ground with the E. CO storm. Has anyone with access to someone in the field been able to confirm this? I thought everyone was just reporting strong RFD winds??Similar threads
