Wednesday 18th May 2022 - SE Colorado (Slight Risk)

Started the last day of Tour 1 in Garden City and had a Slight Risk in SE Colorado which was perfect for changeover day tomorrow. Weak Upslope flow would fire of borderline Supercells but mainly Multi cells capable of some Hail and Outflow winds. Storms would become more severe when we had to leave them when they encountered better moisture over SW Kansas. We got onto the strongest storm SE Of Limon and core punched it to get in front near Kit Carson we encountered mainly quarter sized hail. Structure was quite good at times so we stopped west of Chivington for some pictures.We had to let the core go over us just after this around 6pm as we needed to be back into Denver early tomorrow so we missed out on the 75mph moving Haboob which was raking across SW Kansas. But did manage to get some pretty pictures from the west side of the system as it moved away. Once again no Tornadoes and the 2022 drought continues with no Tornadoes now for 3 weeks almost anywhere in the US.
