CSU-CHILL Casebook: 2 June, 2005

Thunderstorms were fairly widespread in the CSU-CHILL coverage area during the afternoon of 2 June 2005. At 2200 UTC a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for a storm near Berthoud. (A thunderstorm RHI scan was done through this storm at 2209:36.) At 2224 UTC the right flank of the storm displayed a well defined microburst pattern centered at azimuth 216 degrees / range 24 km. (See example VCHILL image below.) The associated reflectivity core also had a small-scale bow shape at this time.

-Storm Prediction Center expecting at least slight risk of severe weather primarily towards the eastern and southern limits of the CHILL coverage area.  Under the direction of Brenda Dolan, the CHILL did full 360 PPI volume scans in synchronization with the KFTG -88D NWS radar starting at 2009:39.  Most of the initial storm development was fairly close to the KFTG / KDEN area, compromising the dual Doppler beam intersection angles.  At 2200 a severe thunderstorm warning was issued for a seperate storm near Berthoud.  (See the RHI scan at 2209:36).
