This chase day had it all: \u00a0supercells, a tornado, unreal sunset colors, and old, abandoned vehicles in a ghost town! \u00a0What more could a chase tour want? \u00a0Oh, yes — lunch at the Big Texan! \u00a0Yum!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Setup:<\/strong> \u00a0This was the final chase day for Tour 4, with my buddies Rook and Steve P. as my drivers for Tempest. \u00a0Our tour had had a wonderful tornado day near Canadian, TX, two days earlier, and we would try our luck one more time on the Southern Plains on this last Friday in May. \u00a0We observed some interesting severe storms near Dalhart, TX, on the previous afternoon, and began this day in Vega. \u00a0SPC showed a large slight risk area covering much of West Texas and the eastern-most part of New Mexico in their 1630Z outlook. \u00a0A two-percent tornado risk area covered the TX\/NM border area from about Nara Visa to Andrews.<\/p>\n

The 1630Z Day One discussion by SPC:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

...SYNOPSIS...\r\n\r\n   THE PRIMARY BELT OF POLAR WESTERLIES WILL REMAIN CONFINED TO CANADA\r\n   IN ASSOCIATION WITH A VIGOROUS SHORT-WAVE TROUGH WHICH WILL\r\n   TRANSLATE SEWD FROM MANITOBA INTO ONTARIO.  THIS SYSTEM WILL BE\r\n   LOOSELY PHASED WITH A LOWER-LATITUDE SHORT-WAVE TROUGH WHICH WILL\r\n   TRACK FROM WY\/CO INTO THE MID MO VALLEY AND UPPER MIDWEST. \r\n   ELSEWHERE...A VORTICITY MAXIMUM --LARGELY OF CONVECTIVE ORIGIN--\r\n   WILL PROGRESS FROM THE SRN PLAINS INTO OZARKS AND LOWER MS VALLEY.\r\n\r\n   AT THE SURFACE...A COLD FRONT ASSOCIATED WITH THE CNTRL CANADA\r\n   UPPER-AIR SYSTEM WILL ADVANCE SEWD THROUGH THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AND\r\n   MID\/LOWER MO VALLEY WITH THE WRN EXTENSION OF THE FRONT REACHING THE\r\n   SRN HIGH PLAINS LATE TONIGHT INTO EARLY SATURDAY.\r\n\r\n   ...SRN HIGH PLAINS THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT...\r\n\r\n   MORNING WATER VAPOR IMAGERY IS SUGGESTIVE OF A WEAK MID-LEVEL\r\n   IMPULSE ALONG THE AZ-NM BORDER WHICH SHOULD CONTINUE ESEWD TODAY\r\n   WITHIN THE SRN PERIPHERY OF THE MORE PROMINENT WY\/CO SHORT-WAVE\r\n   TROUGH MENTIONED ABOVE.  FORCING FOR ASCENT ASSOCIATED WITH THIS\r\n   FEATURE COUPLED WITH AN INCREASING LOW-LEVEL UPSLOPE WIND COMPONENT\r\n   WILL FOSTER THE DEVELOPMENT OF TSTMS THIS AFTERNOON FROM THE RATON\r\n   MESA SWD ACROSS PARTS OF ERN NM WITH ACTIVITY MOVING\/DEVELOPING\r\n   ESEWD INTO WRN TX LATE THIS AFTERNOON INTO EVENING.\r\n\r\n   12Z UPPER-AIR DATA INDICATE THAT LOW-LEVEL MOISTURE QUALITY IS\r\n   POORER THAN PAST DAYS.  HOWEVER...ABUNDANT SUNSHINE IN CONCERT WITH\r\n   RELATIVELY COOL MID-LEVEL TEMPERATURES \/I.E. -11 TO -13 C AT 500 MB\/\r\n   SHOULD SUPPORT MODERATE AFTERNOON INSTABILITY WITH MLCAPE OF\r\n   1000-2000+ J\/KG.  THIS INSTABILITY WILL ALIGN WITH A CORRIDOR OF\r\n   MODEST \/30-35 KT\/ DEEP-LAYER SHEAR WHICH WILL PROMOTE MULTICELL AND\r\n   SOME SUPERCELL STRUCTURES WITH THE INITIAL HAZARD BEING SEVERE HAIL.\r\n   BY THIS EVENING....STORMS MAY EVOLVE INTO A FORWARD-PROPAGATING TSTM\r\n   COMPLEX WITH THE MAIN SEVERE WEATHER RISK TRANSITIONING TO DAMAGING\r\n   OUTFLOW WINDS.\r\n<\/pre>\n
 <\/p>\n
Shear and instability looked decent for supercells, but certainly not great. \u00a0The flow at 500 mb was marginal, just 25 knots or thereabouts from the W to WNW. \u00a0At the surface was generally weak upslope flow with dew points in the low-to-mid 50s. \u00a0At 18Z, winds were light and from the northeast along the NM\/TX border, but these were expected to strengthen and be more easterly towards sunset, especially south of I-40. \u00a0Forecast models indicated afternoon storm development on the high terrain of eastern NM and moving towards the TX border into the evening hours. \u00a0As SPC noted, sunshine was plentiful over the outlooked area. \u00a0Storms would start out quite high-based. \u00a0As usual, the key on this day would be to find the right storm at the right time. \u00a0The models did not have a “go here” signal. \u00a0I targeted the area around Tucumcari for starters, but in the back of my mind I figured that the best that this day might have to offer would likely be towards evening…well after initiation…closer to the NM\/TX border versus well west of the state border. \u00a0I did NOT want to get suckered too far west towards marginal junk! \u00a0I needed to stay a little east, see how the early stuff evolved, and keep fast north-south options close by.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
The Chase:<\/strong> \u00a0After the morning weather briefing in Vega, I elected to head back east into Amarillo for a stop at Cadillac Ranch for the gang and for lunch at the Big Texan. \u00a0The target area was no more than a couple of hours to the west of Amarillo, so why not?! \u00a0After lunch we made our way west on I-40 to the NM\/TX border. \u00a0Some new convection was brewing in the usual spots in New Mexico — on the high terrain around Taos and Las Vegas and vicinity. \u00a0I ignored these storms and dragged the group into Endee, NM, to kill time. \u00a0We spent close to an hour in the mid-afternoon sunshine perusing the abandoned shacks and automobiles. \u00a0Endee is (was?) along Route 66, and was unceremoniously bypassed by Interstate 40. \u00a0It had a motel and a filling station in its heyday! \u00a0Now it is a graveyard for machines which seemingly were unable to complete their assigned journey.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
The skies above Endee featured plenty of cirrus, and by the time we turned our attention back to the weather, there were some strong storms west and northwest of Tucumcari. \u00a0It was between 3 and 4 p.m. MDT, I figure: \u00a0still a little on the early side, but time to find a storm. \u00a0A mesoscale discussion had been recently issued by SPC. \u00a0It covered practically all of northeastern NM as far south as Portales and Dora, and the westernmost counties of the Texas Panhandle from Dalhart to Levelland.<\/p>\n

This update noted better mid-level flow than anticipated, which was welcome! \u00a0And, the big arrow pointed right to Tucumcari, where a cumulus field was bubbling and where we were headed. \u00a0Life was good! \u00a0A severe thunderstorm watch was out by 3 p.m. MDT.<\/p>\n

We latched onto a growing cumulonimbus cloud that was just northeast of Tucumcari. \u00a0It was rather small and unremarkable, but it held our attention. \u00a0Meanwhile, a severe-warned storm was some 30-40 miles to our west-northwest. \u00a0Did I want to scamper towards it? \u00a0We had a decent view of that, and some curious scud was gathering beneath its base. \u00a0Radar showed rotation, and a chaser or two were on it. \u00a0Nope. \u00a0Not gonna do it. \u00a0Too many times have I been suckered west on the High Plains, only to miss better stuff later in the better moisture farther east. \u00a0I needed to be patient. \u00a0I needed to stick relatively close to the NM\/TX border, especially in this region with the so-so road network. \u00a0Here is a look at the Tucumcari storm…<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"150529_1478.Tucumcari-NM\"<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
…not exactly a jaw-dropper, is it?! \u00a0The bigger and badder storm to our WNW continued to look good, and it was moving southeastward. \u00a0It had a rotating updraft and was propagating to the right of the mid-level flow. \u00a0Also, new storms were erupting to our southwest by perhaps 30 – 40 miles. \u00a0These became heavy rather quickly. \u00a0I decided that it would be very prudent to keep all of this activity in play, and that meant getting ourselves east of those cells that were to our southwest. \u00a0I could still keep an eye on the I-40-area storms in case those really started to crank. \u00a0We drove east to San Jon and blasted south towards Grady, NM. \u00a0During this time, the storm to our southwest had evolved into a big HP supercell that was tracking to the southeast! \u00a0I no longer cared about the junk to the north. \u00a0The supercell was near Quay, NM, and I had the option at Grady to head towards it and try to beat it south on the road to Melrose. \u00a0But, that seemed too risky and too close of a call, so I played it safe, and headed east out of Grady to the next south option (209 to Broadview and Clovis).<\/p>\n
It was taking so long to get into position on this big and nasty-looking supercell, now to our west-southwest! \u00a0It was moving right along at about 25 mph to the southeast, and these wide-open but slow (55 mph speed limit) New Mexico roads were killing me! \u00a0And, as we entered Clovis, we had to deal with Friday rush-hour traffic and plenty of traffic signals —UGH! \u00a0 \u00a0Onward we pressed, as the radar returns showed large hail and strong rotation in the vicinity of Melrose. \u00a0Our south route, U.S. 70, angled off to the southwest and would help put us in good position in front of the supercell. \u00a0And it was at this point that this day’s patience and conservative decision-making paid off. \u00a0A new, strong updraft was exploding in front of the HP supercell, on the southwest side of Portales!<\/p>\n
The Portales storm organized quickly and was a relatively easy intercept. \u00a0Its presence greatly diminished the flow of warm and moist air at the surface into the Melrose supercell. \u00a0The Melrose storm sputtered, and we were right in front of a big and nasty (though somewhat high-based) supercell. \u00a0Whoohoo!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
This storm had a nice, sculpted look and a fine inflow band. \u00a0The views above are towards the west and were taken along Road 206 between Portales and Dora, in Roosevelt County. \u00a0The storm continued to the southeast at 20-25 mph and chased us south towards Dora. \u00a0We stopped again as the storm base loomed just to our west.<\/p>\n

This supercell was very well-organized and spinning hard! \u00a0Since the storm base was rather high, I was not expecting a tornado chance, at least in the immediate future. \u00a0The hail-filled core was only a mile or two to our north, and we continued south of Dora a bit to stay out of it. \u00a0I was interested in getting a ways south and east for a good look at the storm structure before sunset. \u00a0Road 458 out of Pep, NM, was a little too close to the storm core for this plan, so we kept on going south on 206. \u00a0But, now there was another potential problem. \u00a0A strong storm was just south and southwest of my next east option, Road 262, at tiny Milnesand. \u00a0Its hail core was heading up towards Milnesand! \u00a0There wasn’t much to hide under out here. \u00a0We were VERY vulnerable, with a giant hail-filled supercell to our north and northwest, and a severe-warned storm encroaching to our south! \u00a0I thought for sure that I was going to wind up at the glass-replacement place on Saturday.<\/p>\n
I went into vehicle-survival mode. \u00a0I directed Steve and Rook southward to Milnesand, and briefly forgot about any structure back to our west and northwest. Fortunately, we were able to head east on 262 prior to any hail, and we stopped after driving east a few miles. \u00a0It was raining lightly here, out of the anvil, but the sunset light was nice and the hail threat seemed minimal for the moment. \u00a0This is a look to the south from 262, towards the storm that was squeezing us and causing me consternation!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"150529_1519.Milnesand-NM\"<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
But, it was raining! \u00a0I needed to lose this rain so I could set up in a dry spot to shoot storm structure! \u00a0The only way that this was going to happen was to blast east. \u00a0East we went, but just for a couple of miles. \u00a0We were perhaps five miles east of Milnesand, and the light on the storm base behind us was just TOO GOOD to drive away from! \u00a0Or, if you prefer, it was TOO GOOD from which to drive away! \u00a0 Stop!<\/p>\n
And it is a good thing that we stopped. \u00a0We turned right up a dirt road which put us up on a little high point, with a great view of the stormy golden-and-black scene to the west-southwest.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
\"150529_1523.Milnesand-NM\"<\/a>\"150529_1524.Milnesand-NM\"<\/a>\"150529_1527.Milnesand-NM\"<\/a><\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n
In these wide-angle (15mm) images, the power lines lead to the west down Road 262. \u00a0A roundish and rain-free updraft base is quite prominent to the west, with a blocky wall cloud. \u00a0A plume of smoke near the surface is being sucked up into the left side (southeast side) of the updraft base; the smoke presumably due to a recent lightning strike and resulting brushfire (as seen in the shot from the previous location, above). \u00a0On the north side of the rain-free storm base is the rain-and-hail region with the “Portales\/Dora” supercell. \u00a0Apparent is a handful of very heavy precipitation cores — see image 1523. \u00a0These cores are north of Milnesand’s latitude. \u00a0A “lighter” area of precipitation is visible to the left of the rain-free base. \u00a0This precipitation is courtesy of the storm that is moving eastward on the south side of Milnesand. \u00a0Relatively light and narrow swaths of precipitation are discernible between our location and the rotating updraft base. \u00a0The two storms are on a collision course.<\/p>\n
Why do I mention all of these stormy ingredients? \u00a0Because they effectively conspired to spawn a beautiful tornado with the Portales-Dora supercell! \u00a0If there had been no storm south of the Milnesand area, if there had been no rain-cooled outflow from the south to bump up against the rotating updraft near Milnesand, then I suspect that there would have been no tornado. \u00a0The great sunset light continued to our west and west-southwest, and, much to our disbelief, the slender funnel cloud materialized and within a couple of minutes was smack down on the ground beneath the rotating updraft base!<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n

I was juggling two cameras, and pointed the one with the wide-angle lens towards the tornado.<\/p>\n

These are very wide, 15mm shots. \u00a0The second one is cropped some. \u00a0I was nice and dry in my tour director seat in the van, shooting out the open window. \u00a0The guests were outside in the light rain, but they did not mind too much. \u00a0This was a fantastic exclamation point to the end of their chase tour! \u00a0The tornado was going to stick around for another minute or so, it seemed, so I switched back to the long lens for some close-ups.<\/p>\n
 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
The tornado did not move much, but a microburst to its north surged southward and precipitation eventually obscured the tornado from our perspective. \u00a0Though daylight still appeared plentiful behind the storm, these zoom shots were at ISO 400, f 4.5 and shutter speed 1\/60 second, suggesting rather dim conditions. \u00a0 Not many chasers witnessed this tornado, but chaser Christian Cleary managed to wind up in the right place at the right time along 206, with this awesome view!<\/a><\/p>\n
As the tornado disappeared behind the microburst, and as the shallow window of daylight closed to our west, it was again time to head east and maybe get out of this annoying rain. \u00a0Again, we made it a few miles farther down the road, but we just had to stop again in the light rain as the light, the colors, and the storm structure back to the west was absolutely UNREAL!!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
And, I know what you are saying —- “Come on, Bill, how can a storm look like that? \u00a0Surely you are playing around a little too much in Photoshop!!” \u00a0But, this is how it looked. \u00a0Yes, I brightened the scene some and the contrast was bumped up a little, but the saturation levels did not have to be touched! \u00a0The purples in image 2 of the 6 above is due to lightning in the updraft. \u00a0That little ball on the right is the setting sun. \u00a0Once more, these are wide-angle\/15 mm\/full frame\/Canon 6D shots, all handheld, in the rain, ISO around 800, wide open at f2.8, and slow shutter speeds around 1\/25 second. \u00a0There were a few spectacular lightning bolts careening through this amazing and surreal wall of color. \u00a0I tried but failed to catch one with the camera. \u00a0Darn rain — it was too wet to set up and shoot properly with the tripod and cable release. \u00a0This is the post-tornadic Portales\/Dora supercell, spinning above Milnesand, New Mexico.<\/p>\n
A little later we were inside Texas, I believe, with a little less rain and a little time to try for lightning. \u00a0The storm was weakening a bit, though, as other storms developed nearby. \u00a0This was the best I could manage.<\/p>\n

We had a rather prolific lightning display to enjoy to our northeast as we headed to Morton, TX. \u00a0The convenience store there would serve as our Friday night dinner base, and then we were off to Amarillo and the motel for the night. \u00a0A chase day like May 29 is why we keep coming back to the Great Plains in spring. \u00a0Below is our group photo in Shamrock on the drive back to Oklahoma City on Saturday.<\/p>\n
