Tornado watch has now been issued for the area. Limon CO and points to the immediate north north east would be an ideal target area at the current time.

it could be quite interesting today in se co. thanks to mid-upper 50 dews CAPEs are already quite high, and with impulse coming in later this afternoon shear will be huge. pesky cap is pretty strong now, but there's plenty of time left! nice developing storm over your head right now, Andrew, i can see the towers out our window.

The updraft IS right over my house Stan. I don't know what to do; stay put and see if anything fires around the immediate vicinity, head north towards Limon, or head southeast.

I would say that storm moving right over the Denver metro needs to be watched!

Interesting boundary from S ICT arcing around to CDS on vis sat. It's appearance would suggest OFB from activity much earlier invof OKC, but it's cirrus, as confirmed by Angie, who's in Shamrock. What to make of it?

Ilya it did take on a pre-sup look to it for a minute although it does have a warning on it. New development in between Denver and Colorado Springs also has that pre-sup look to it. Wont surprise me at all if this cell starts spinning and produces some decent hail at this point.
Edit: Yes a cell to watch indeed. Storm is increasing in intensity and is taking on a sup-like radar sig at this point. Still no warning out yet for this cell.

That bdry I mentioned a few minutes ago is actually more obvious on IR and WV than VIS.

I can confirm the OFB Bob which seems to be about 11 mi to my south where im at here E of ICT. Keep getting these nice towers that build up along the OFB then compltley die out once they cross US-54. I was wondering what was causing this lol 
Edit: One of the towers has turned into a nice thundershower about 2 mi S SE of Andover, KS.
Edit: Finally they warn the cell in between Denver and Colorado Springs lol. Can anyone confirm rotation with this storm or is that just outflow on the SE side of the storm? This storm is turning into a monster... A MONSTER!!!

I see a little rotation, nothing too much. 73dBZ, huh?

Chad Lawson and I are currently heading north on US83 south of Garden City. We ran into Jim Leonard, Rocky Rascovich, and others in Woodward, as well as Sam Dinks in Liberal. Even if the cap were to break further south, we didn't like the 20-25 dewpoint depressions that were common in the area. Decided to gamble and commit north to NW Kansas, for better DDs. Plan is to drive to Scott City and adjust west/northwest from there.

New MD out for the remainder of Eastern Colorado. I like Bent and Prowers county CO. If the 500 flow can increase, along with those SE 850's already there, I think something can fire in that area. If it doesn't, one could go north or back south if needed.

Wow, what a DBZ core between Limon and CO. Springs! Anyone wanna get good hail footage? Seriously, gotta be careful with that thing!! Looks like storms HAVE been able to bust the cap further south now with an isolated cell near Trinidad and a good looking storm/possible supercell in NE NM attm.

Not all that interesting stormwise, but those counties in sw NE have to be seeing some serious serious flooding, and/or will. Northern Hayes county was showing over 8 inches on radar yesterday, and it's all lined up right over there again. Been a couple tornado warnings in there, but can't imagine much has come from them.

That's got to be getting nasty around there, with what looks like a long night of heavy rain(ruc hammers that area).

Stopped at Scott City, KS Wendy's to look at data for an hour or so...West-Central KS appears to be experiencing shortwave ridging between Central CO shortwave and shortwave that is now passing through SW NE...the ridging is causing subsidence evidenced by lack of CU field across this area despite weak cap....heading west towards Kit Carson and Cheyenne Wells, CO to possibly intercept Limon supercell, or perhaps activity firing S or N of there.
