Supercells!!!

Today the V2 armada finally caught not just one, but two supercells in southeast WY/northeast CO. Still no tornadoes, but at least we finally had some good rotation in the storms we were chasing (hey, it only took 4 of the 5 weeks of the project!). It was a long, tiring day (lots of driving!) so I'm not up for a full recap right now, but just wanted to share the happy news. Unfortunately, I didn't get any pictures that look particularly supercell-ish. We were either driving our busy with balloon preparation whenever something interesting was going on. But we did see a nice rainbow, which always makes for a pretty picture:





Now it's time for sleep in the Travel Lodge next to the Corrections Facility in Sterling, CO.....if nothing else our accomadations have been memorable this trip ; ).
