Yesterday was the first exciting day for our group (CoD Trip
3 2017). We started the morning in Laramie, WY and then visited the Cheyenne
NWS office. Chad, Becca, and Rob gave us a nice tour of the office and talked
with our group about their roles/responsibilities. We grabbed lunch on Dell
Range Road before heading north toward Wheatland. We stayed patient along a
moisture discontinuity in the northwest NE panhandle, extending northwest to just
north of Lusk, WY. This payed off as a nice supercell developed north of Lusk
and began diving south given the weak upper-level shear (see RADAR animations).
This supercell had nice structure for most of its life and had one of the more impressive
hail cores I’ve ever seen. We stuck with this storm until it decayed just north
of Torrington, WY.
Overnighted in Scottsbluff, NE.
