May 19 2015


Today’s set up was pretty much the same as yesterdays. We had a slight risk of severe storms in our target area with CAPE values at around 2500 but the tornado risk had increased to 5%.

We headed north towards the vicinity of Childress and waited for the storms to initiate. A series of storms eventually did fire, however the line of storms began to merge into a big HP squall which produced a lot of precipitation with small embedded hail. We eventually came out of the precip and witnessed some nice structure as we looked back at the storm.

Most of the lightning it produced was embedded in rain and difficult to photograph, so we finally headed to Childress for the night, and viewed the storm from the motel.
