May 30th, a colorado day

It is 3pm mountain time here in Lamar, Colorado. We're chasing on the back side of the cold front, which we originally targeted (in the OK panhandle). Then after checking some data, decided to chase SE CO. Mid levels lost the instability. However that was at 11am (cst), now at 3pm, we see the midlevel recovering and wonder if it was premature to leave that target. However, we are here now, and we'll stick with Colorado for today. The good news is that Day 2 outlook is for the same area we are in, so not much driving tomorrow.

After that it may be time to wrap up the chase vacation. However I am here long enough for a possible pattern change, so we'll likely wait it out a few days before deciding to go home. I will drive as little as possible, either staying out west in TX, OK, or KS. Or may go to Dallas to visit family and friends.
