Day 1 – Analyzing GREMLIN

GREMLIN

An area of showers and thunderstorms formed across southern Colorado this afternoon. A dryline was just to the east and coincided with a gradient of mixed-layer instability. Thunderstorms developed along an arc from Pueblo county to Baca county and slowly moved north-northeastward before weakening in the late afternoon hours. The Clean IR-CH13 band depicted a strengthening storm to the west while warming cloud tops were occurring over Otero county. GREMLIN picked up the deepening convection while quickly weakening convection to the east.
