5/22 - 3pm - A Wild Day in Colorado

Wow... Just got a look at the SPC's storm reports. This is a big tornado:

DIRECT HIT ON STATE FARM BUILDING. CARS TOSSED OFF OF ROAD. TREES DOWN. SWIFT COMPANY ROOF TORN OFF. TORNADO 3/4 TO 1 MILE WIDE (BOU)

This is hitting Weld County in Northern Colorado. Here's a picture from KUSA-TV in Denver:



It has caused a great amount of damage already and this probably won't be the last one for today. Looks like this is only the beginning of things to come next week in the Plains. Could be a very busy couple of weeks for the tour.

The map I posted yesterday from the SPC is little changed, with the only big change being that the Day 6 outbreak will be contained to the west. Simply a great time to go chasing!

Cloudy skies will prevail here tomorrow with highs in the lower 70's and a slight chance of rain. We'll clear out the clouds and see temperatures soar into the mid 80's for this weekend!

Only 2 days left!
