JUNE 2nd - Arriba, CO
CHASERS: Bobby Eddins  Michael Cohen  Edward Cohen
SUMMARY:
Spent most of the day at the Comfort Inn in Goodland, KS analyzing western Kansas where things were supposed to happen. Finally decided the cap moving up from the south would win and drove west into Colorado. We stopped in Flagler, CO looking for data and hung there for a while. Finally a storm to the northeast of Denver moved far enough east and strengthened so we drove north to intercept.

We stopped at Lindon to view this outflow dominant storm til it got too close then moved east.

We noted a new storm near Limon, CO to our southwest and it became our target. After driving east a bit on hwy 36 we dropped down to Siebert and then went west on I 70. We approached the storm at Arriba and from there the storm did the chasing.
