June 9th, 2004 Woodrow, Colorado Tornadic Supercell
Last Updated on Saturday, 09 January 2010 18:01 Written by Roger Hill
The set up for June 9 was good for the high plains of eastern Colorado. Strong upslope flow beneath strong mid level westerlies would provide a good shear profile. Supercells developed near Denver by mid afternoon and moved northeast. One storm produced copious amounts of hail and produced at least two confirmed tornadoes. Check out the photos below.
