Indystorm Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 CO starting to get active once again at present. Limon must certainly be a favorable spot climate wise this time of year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted June 6, 2015 Share Posted June 6, 2015 Slightly worried about deep layer shear, and these initial NE NE cells are adding to that. We've gotten away without a ton lately, but HRRR/RAP analysis shows we're struggling to break 30 kt, given near southerly surface flow. Time will tell. Yeah I was thinking about that too, going to be a case of the low levels driving the setup if this does work out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Indystorm Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 SPC still raising concern and placing emphasis on strengthening LLJ. We shall see what happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JasonOH Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Storm north of Norfolk is looking good. It has a lot less interference than the other storms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyhb Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Another setup being done in by relatively poor mid level flow. Need more jet support. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

frontranger8 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Berthoud tornado rated EF3, Simla tornadoes EF1 http://www.weather.gov/bou/StormSurveys Don't see many EF3s that close to the mountains, impressive. The last one that I can remember that was remotely near the foothills was the 2008 EF3 Windsor wedge tornado, one of the more impressive Front Range twisters on record - and unfortunately one of the few that resulted in loss of life. It's fortunate that this one didn't strike about 10 miles further south, a much more populated area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huronicane Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Berthoud is the first EF3 since Windsor. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frontranger8 Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Berthoud is the first EF3 since Windsor. Sent from my iPhone Yup. CO gets a lot of tornadoes, #6 state in the nation for number, and they pretty much all happen in 1/2 half of the state. But the vast majority are EF1 or EF0. The Windsor tornado was a monster compared to the Berthoud one, though...a mile wide and on the ground for 38 miles. Way more EF3 damage with that one, and again we were fortunate that it tracked mostly across a sparsely populated area (until the very end).
