Day 1 Chasecation Log

Me and the other Steve Miller from Oklahoma are staying overnight in Goodland, Kansas. Models are different on locaions for tomorrow's chase, so will do some day 1 data crunching in the morning over coffee. The good news is that either model solution right now is close to us. Friday and Saturday are looking pretty good right now with each day being a good tornado potential...especially Saturday back in the TX PH. The upper air pattern being advertised reminds me of an April pattern. What a drastic change from years past when July upper air patterns were setting up in May. I'll take it!

Today had us taking the road north out of Kim, CO where we were pleasantly surprised to discover "9 Mile Canyon" with some cool geographic formations. We got some good landscape photos out of the trip. We also went down a dit road advertised to lead to some canyons. Come to find out, it is the Picketwire Canyons and over a 15 mile trek to get to it. We didn't have the time. But, definitely a future destination to check out.

Ended up have a pretty decent steak dinner in Burlington, Colorado before hunkering down in Goodland for the night. Another quick update in the morning.
