LP Supercell: Seibert, CO

April 29, 2003


Classic LP supercell on I-70 between Limon and Burlington, CO. There were clear signs of rotation throughout its lifetime, although the updraft base was higher than we would have liked. Steep lapse rates seemed to do wonders for the storm in the face of dry air undercutting it from the south. A beautiful, symmetric bell shape. Golf ball size hail was reported with this storm.

Note: There was some dust or something on the lens for several of these, I've tried to digitally edit it out...
