Running PAR/CASA archive cases for the next 1-2 hours. Will attempt to run IOP at 4 PM for the BOU CWA. Good hodographs (very straight lines) could mean splitting storms with 40 kts 0-6 km shear and 1000-1500 J/kg CAPE. No CIN to speak of. Need to get further heating N of the Palmer Divide and with the low clouds burning off this should happen by 4 PM. Radars running at KFTG, KPUX, KGLD, and KCYS. VORTEX 2 is also in the area east of Denver.
