June 10 was a down day for Silver Lining Tours. However it was just too enticing to sit around as a severe storm developed along a boundary northeast of our house. We caught up with the storm near Last Chance, CO and stayed with it all the way to Burlington. This storm had fantastic structure with the beautiful "upside down wedding cake" look to it. However the tornado threat was nill as it was very high based. Nonetheless, it was a spectacular storm that produced hail to tennis ball size.

We approached the storm from the northwest.                           Very high based, but obviously rotating.

Nice circular base, spinning like a top!                                         Upside down wedding cake look. Beautiful structure!

Looking west at the southern side of the storm.                        Looking west at the northern side of the storm.

Laminar inflow feature, not a funnel.                                             Tennis ball sized hail.
