WxWatcher007 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 Chaser Report: 7/6/23 It was a classic hurry up and wait day, as a complex forecast evolved over eastern Colorado. I decided to hold in Denver, as the CAMs remained confident in the cap breaking and we had clearing that allowed for substantial destabilization. It was late afternoon when we had convective initiation, with two transient supercells just east of Denver. Both dropped funnels, and there were reports of a tornado and landspout. Once we reached Limon, things quickly picked up. New storms popped to my north and south It became apparent very quickly that the southern storms, which were explosively developing before my eyes in an environment of 3,000 SBCAPE, 2,500 MLCAPE and 50-70kts effective shear were the ones to track. The chase…was on… What were distinct cells ended up congealing into a monster long track supercell with a hail core at at least one initial tornado report. The sun was setting so it was hard to see how close it was to producing a tornado but I did see a wall cloud behind the frequent lightning. Rather than try to cut behind the storm and beat the other supercells that were developing to get to Lamar, I called it after these photos. It was an excellent call, as the supercell became tornado warned, dropped more baseball hail, and caused flash flooding along what would have been my route. The only downside is that yesterday became a nocturnal threat as the cap broke late. I pushed it to the limit and it paid off. It was an epic chase overall. This is my third time out here and each time I’m getting better at forecasting and tracking. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StormyClearweather Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Interesting stuff: https://apple.news/AJjVIzjlMTee4jcq35fbgjA I was wondering when we’d see an "AI" forecast model. Looks like they’re already here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stormchaserchuck1 Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Models have been way below average lately, almost intentionally so: i.e: current conditions impact the long range at about a 0.75 correlation. Warmer or colder than forecasted day goes out to 11-15 day model at like 85-90%. Seems we are in a "sleeping phase" as a whole system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their home schedule after the break is really nice with series against the Dodgers, Mets, Cards, and Astros in addition to the AL East teams. Hoping they don’t tail off after the break because late summer could be really exciting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mappy Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Ooof I’m battered and bruised this am. Took a line drive to the face at second last night, tipped my glove at the last moment before hitting my jaw area, thankfully deflected the worst of the smack. Then made a diving play to win us the game. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, little bruising on my face this morning but all in all better than it could have been. Was pissed I didn’t catch it, was a reactionary response lol hard fought game against a team where we knew a lot of people. Won by 1, they had winning runs on bases when I got the last out. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2O Posted July 8, 2023 Share Posted July 8, 2023 Won our swim meet today to get to 3-1. Next week will be the super tough meet that could make us 3-2(I'm fine with that) or 4-1(scary where that might put us for next year). But honestly the best part of the meet was my oldest daughter swimming breast. She wasn't going to get points due to other fast swimmers and came in 6th. But here's the thing. A couple years ago there was a meet where timers messed up her time and she got a ridiculously low time than what reality was. Even though it was a bogus time(it was official) she had never been able to match it in the meets and years since. Until today. She dropped her real personal best time(like legit time per 3 good stopwatches) to finally get under a time she had wanted to break for well over 2 years. The pure joy and happiness she had was just awesome. Just fricken awesome. I don't give a shit about the final score of the meet or that she was 6th. Her. Time. Dropped. And she was more proud of that than anything. #prouddad 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then made a diving play to win us the game. Oh that sucks, hope you are OK! But nice to make a play that helped win the game! I've seen my share of injuries in this softball league I used to play for and it's no joke. A few years ago in 2019, I broke a finger playing 1st base (normally, I'm an outfielder but played 1st a few times). On this one play, there was a wild and hard throw from our 3rd baseman that I had to dive for. The ball nicked my gloved hand just wrong and bent my pinky finger back somehow. At least I kept it in play and avoided the runner advancing to 2nd! I attempted to bat in the bottom half of that inning but couldn't continue, so that was the end of my season. Had to get a pin in the finger for about 6 weeks. I don't play anymore, COVID kind of canceled any season in 2020 and 2021 though the league started back up last year. Plus, just too much other stuff going on (and I'm getting a bit old for that now hahaha!). But it was fun playing for about 17 seasons in that league, especially the tournament weekend each year!
