23 May 2021 – Eastern Colorado Severe Storms and Tornado

Ray and I departed for eastern Colorado on what felt like a day with legitimate tornado potential.  Severe storms had already developed southwest of Limon by the time we had reached the Colorado border on I-70.  We drove to the Seibert exit and then north… somewhat half heartedly keeping a tornado warned storm to our west in play:

But the reality was it was moving too fast and had too much of a northward motion for us to consider it a real option.  We made it to Cope and then started working back south toward Seibert keeping new storm development to our west in sight.  Most of the storms to our west were on the dryline and organizing in short line segments.  The convection would look rock hard through the mid-levels and then become mushy by the time it reached anvil level.  There were towering cumulus to our south, some producing weak radar returns, and these we felt had a bit better potential to produce something interesting:

 Wanting to stay in a position to play these storms, likely cost us a view of a pretty tornado event near Arriba.  I took this image at 5:43 pm CDT… looking west from the north side of Seibert:

Now what you have to look hard for here… and we didn’t see at the time of this photo… is a small funnel at cloud base near the middle of the picture.  Ray did spot the funnel later and we took pictures of it for several minutes, not knowing if it was a landspout event, had a circulation on the ground, or just simply some small funnel cloud:

 

It wouldn’t be until the next day that we found out we were actually viewing a small tornado near Arriba.  A storm chaser on the west side of the storm had a much better view of the pretty tornado which had a small but well defined ground circulation.

Another wet meso-cyclone passed over us just north of Burlington, and then near sunset, we had another storm pass over us near Kanorado:

It had been a long day and we called it an evening at Goodland.
