CoD chase, day 7 recap and day 8 forecast

Yesterday was a neat day. We were expecting some supercells with a chance of tornadoes, but something just didn't go. Likely the moisture was to blame, but this year it seems to be either too much or not enough, or too much forcing or not enough--that delicate balance doesn't seem to want to show up.

Still, though, we caught some great shelf cloud structure. Pictures may or may not happen soon, depending on when we end up leaving on our trip. Speaking of which,I normally do extended forecasts for the trip based on the models and show how wildly they vary from day to day, but I have no time right now.

Today we're going to play the Palmer Divide east of Denver. Maybe, maybe not; this place is famous for its landspout tornadoes, and you never know.
