A beautifully isolated, potent supercell has formed in east central Wyoming. It has a top over 60,000 feet, stunning radar presentation and is currently tornado warned for a public reported tornado spotted near Blue Hill Reservoir, which is between Casper and Douglas on I-25 in central Converse County. The storm is moving southeast at 25 mph. The well defined hook shows up very prominently on base reflectivity and should be passing over I-25 any minute now; hopefully if there is a tornado on the ground with that cell, it will be visible enough that everyone will have got stopped in time to let it cross the interstate. If this supercell holds together and continues on its current trajectory it could be northeast of Cheyenne about 8:45 p.m. MDT and into northern Weld County, CO around 9:30 p.m. MDT. It could be very interesting as it is moving into a moisture laden, favorable environment as it pushes southeast.
Just thought I would point it out, since no one else has probably noticed this storm even exists.
What I wouldn't give to be near Douglas, WY right about now...
