I’ll kick this one into life as I’m up early to get the 300miles into position. Initiation likely quite early today with virtually no CIN on the upslope shelf of far NE CO around 20Z. A discrete storm surviving until 22Z may take advantage of a decent 850mb flow that develops far SW NE (according to HRRR) so good structure is possible. Tor risk limited by high spreads (low dp - 53F is the best I can find), but you never know. 

Our conditions update target: St Francis, KS

Edit: dps already 55F in target area so maybe HRRR being a little tight on it’s values

Off topic, this is from the SPC for Florida today:

‘supporting a threat for mini supercells ‘

Oh dear - the degenerative ‘mini’ disease is spreading into high places

Goodland, KS. Dps already 65F here which is way above modelled and a really decent SE surface wind. Still think initial sweet spot is far NE CO so we’re shifting to Burlington, CO shortly to re-assess.

To avoid confusion we are not part of the NWx team but we’re normally not too far from each other.

The team were staying overnight in Ogallala but not sure where they are today.  Internet access must patchy for them .

Distances are vast out there and i think the location of the tornado is a tad out of reach at the moment.
