Chasecation 2015 Day 1 – Seek and ye shall find

So having delayed this post until the very end of the day in the hopes of being able to post a pretty picture, we were able to nab a nice looking supercell south of Limon, CO.

After spending the night in western Kansas, we made the three hour drive to Limon to assess the storm threat for today. After watching storms train over Limon and points west and south, we decided to drop even further south to a storm that was over Pueblo and trying to move east. That was our storm of the day, though other storms in the area did give us some other nice shots that I will share later.

Now in our hotel for the night (we JUST ticked over to midnight in MDT!), we prepare for tomorrow’s nearby target area in hopes that we can get our first tornado of 2015.
