ThorntonWeather.com is ready to begin the hunt for tornadoes!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Storm Chase 2010 is making final preparations to take to the Great Plains on Saturday. With severe weather forecast for the northern plains, the opportunity is too good to resist so the hunt begins a day early.<\/p>\n

The Storm Prediction Center has placed a slight risk for severe weather on an area from northeastern Colorado into Nebraska and then north from there. The risk for tornadoes is relatively small but even if we don\u2019t see a twister, there is a good chance to witness some great storm structure as well as strong winds and hail.<\/p>\n

The tour we are a part of isn\u2019t officially supposed to start until tomorrow and we must be in Denver this evening to meet with the rest of the group. As such, today\u2019s chase will be relatively short and won\u2019t cover too much of a distance.<\/p>\n

Roger Hill, famed storm chaser and tour leader<\/a>, will outline the plans for the chase later today but we are anticipating we will hunt northeastern Colorado and western Nebraska. If all goes according to plan, we should be on the road by noon (MDT) and on our way to the target area.<\/p>\n

We will be bringing along Examiner and ThorntonWeather.com\u00a0readers on this great chase. There are no guarantees because as we all know, Mother Nature is far from reliable \u2013 six days on the plains could yield little more than rain. However, confidence is high that you will be taken on a virtual ride unlike any other with videos, photos and more from the road.<\/p>\n
