Well, we’re heading for the first target area of the trip, which will be northeastern Colorado. We are seconds from crossing into Colorado from Kansas.  I’m having an issue with our GPS device in case you’re wondering why the position isn’t working.

Some encouragement came when the SPC actually put a minimal (2%) tornado risk out with the late morning update! 

It is interesting that a NW-SE boundary of maximum dew points has set up this afternoon in northeastern Colorado.  There is also edvidence of pre-convection occuring in northern Colorado and southern Wyoming.  For these reasons plus the fact that we’ll need to be in western Nebraska for Monday’s initiation made us decide to head to Sterling, Colorado this afternoon, ETA about 4 pm MDT.
