Storm ballooning Operational. Six vehicles are now operational. Storm chase van Operational except that the GPS doesn't work, will tag along with mobile units. For weather safety purposed, we are dispatching an NWS volunteer with the mobile chase van since they are EE students. The mobiles will standby for a 1pm update.
Some weaker convection is likely, with no potential for severe storms.
The most likely region for convection is northwest off the Cheyenne Ridge along the Wyoming-Colorado border. We dispatched the mobile mesonet and sounding crews north to St. Francis Kansas in anticipation of getting ahead of the first convection coming off the Cheyenne Ridge along the Colorado-Wyoming border. This convection moved eastward, but remained rather disorganized. We committed all resources to these storms. Scans were first taken across the full western Doppler lobe, with the most intense cell south of this region.
