Colorado Convection Moving Toward More Favorable Environment

Using the GOES-16 derived CAPE and precipitable water, it can be determined that convection developing off the higher terrain is moving toward a more favorable environment.

Note: On the images below, visible satellite overlaid on the derived products. This allows the "blacked out" areas to be filled with information. 

Preciptable water values are increasing to nearly an inch across northeast Colorado, which is favorable for convection in higher terrain. The convection is moving toward higher CAPE as well.
