8:00am – Wake up to find CoD has had a major data outage and there’s no weather data to review. Made a call out to Gil for help since I can’t find anything wrong with weather or climate servers. Gil can’t find anything either so calls are made to CoD IT.

01:30pm – lunch over. Buffalo burgers for most of the group. Heading to Julesburg, CO to play the boundary.
02:00pm – Paul finished the new surface maps and he thinks a dryline is setting up west of Scottsbluff, NE so that’s the new target.

5:00pm – Toes across WY border and a quick u-turn to head south. no data signal, but plenty of prairie dogs
5:30pm – Stopped top of a rise for pictures. Storms are starting to pop but which ones will break loose?
