| Jeff Lawson, Chris Collura and I intercepted a
supercell near McAdoo, Texas around 6:30 PM. This was a strange looking LP storm with strong inflow, zero precip for a while, and a constantly changing updraft base. Several collar clouds formed and made efforts to lower, but the poor dewpoints and lack of sufficient convergence for moisture pooling left the bases far too high for anything to happen. Still it was remarkable to observe this very dry storm ingest air, trying to tap into the fuel that was just too far to the SE. Today our moisture and convergence axis were out of sync, leaving us and the storms caught in between. There was a tornado warning west of LBB on a storm near Levelland, where the air was even drier than ours, a shocker to us. That's chasing. Spending the night in Aspermont, hoping to give it another shot tomorrow. Enjoyed chatting with the Cloud Nine folks, David Fogel and friends, Chris Kidler, and others we don't see 'round these parts very often. No pics until I get back to Denton, unfortunately. If we ever get another down day. :-) Amos Magliocco |
