Day 2 Tornado Pics & Pre Chase Post
After an incredible day yesterday around Deer Trail and Last Chance, Colorado, we are perusing data and choose wither an I-70 target, or one further south between Pueblo/Lamar/Springfield, CO. Decided to head to Burlington, CO to eat lunch and continue crunching data.
I'm personally leaning towards the I-70 corridor solution in favor of a little better shear, LCLs and storm-relative helicities not to mention a little better road network. The trick there is to get the surface and 850mb flow to back more as advertised by the RUC and HRRR model solutions. It seems as if the NAM is the outlier at this point with it's more NErly boundary layer flow solution.
One thing really intriguing me are the forecast SE 700mb winds of up to 30 knots in the I-70 corridor vs 10-15 further south.
