June 2, 2008 Burlington, CO
Leisurely chase today for Katie Burtis and I beginning the day in GLD with the plan to play the Palmer Divide. Departed around noon and stopped in Burlington to grab a drink and peruse data for a while. As this occurred, observed towering cu just off to the west so decided to keep an eye on it hoping it would have enough to overcome the stout cap. Soon enough, a full fledged supercell developed so we dropped south and east to keep ahead of it. The storm displayed impressive structure for a time with well striated updraft and several laminar tails streaming in. Hearing reports of softball to grapefruit sized hail and observing little signs of tornado potential, decided to drop south for some structure shots. However, as quickly as it developed, it seemed to fizzle as it approached GLD.
