6/4 - 2pm - Rain and Cold Weather in June?

Well here's an inaccurate forecast for you. This rain behind the cold front that came through yesterday does not want to exit the area as forecast and could stick around until mid afternoon. Even worse, temperatures across the area are hovering in the mid 50's. So much for "things should clear out nicely by tomorrow afternoon," as I stated in yesterday's post.

The good news is that this rain will eventually clear out by this evening and we'll be left with a sunny and warm weekend as promised.

Things are still looking pretty good for the beginning of my storm chasing trip. Severe weather will be just off to the east of Denver when I fly in on Saturday (good... no weather delays), and it looks like severe weather will fire up in Eastern NE and KS on Sunday when we start chasing. We may have to drive quite a ways to get out there from Denver, but we'll see if the target area (hopefully) shifts westward.

My official graduation from high school is tomorrow, then I leave for Denver on Saturday. What an action-packed week!

2 days until storm chasing begins!
