5/22/2021 Akron, CO tornadoes

Headed south out of Sidney (brrrrr...cold!) toward a meridionally oriented stationary boundary with an initial target of near Akron, CO. Sat in our favorite Akron park while watching an initial supercell develop to our southwest.  Continued to strengthen as we approached and eventually produced an elephant trunk tornado southwest of Akron, CO. Two additional weak tornadoes formed before the storm began to lose its tornadic potential. 

Tried to get south to Ordway, CO storm after things got messy, but was a little too late. Still got some nice structure south of Limon, CO. Overnighted in Burlington, CO.
