September 19th featured an east/west outflow boundary in eastern Colorado with upslope flow into the Palmer Divide. By mid afternoon, higher based storms for over the Palmer and drifted eastward along the boundary intercepting deeper moisture. A couple of supercells formed, but constant mergers disrupted their intensity. One such storm south of Genoa, CO spun pretty hard and had an extremely intense wet microburst with winds over 80 mph! Those rocked the van as I quickly positioned to face the brunt with the front end of the vehicle. Golfball hail and those high winds could certainly blow out windows! Structure of the storm was pretty nice as a huge blob of RFD wrapped around the meso. I was surprised there wasn’t a tornado warning issued! Enjoy the pics!
