The forecast for severe storms in the Del Rio area persisted for May\r\n28<\/strong>.  It looked like the initiation area would be a few counties to the north,\r\nnear San Angelo.  We hung out near Sonora and blew bubbles, and waited some\r\nmore.  This, again, was a day with less-than-adequate shear from the surface to\r\nmid-levels, but maybe enough CAPE to make things interesting.  Like practically\r\nevery other chase day for the past two weeks, the prospects for a tornado were\r\nextremely small.  A bunch of weak storms developed in a large cumulus field\r\nwhich extended to our northwest to southeast.  We drifted north to Eldorado, TX,\r\nand then decided to get close to a developing storm in Irion County, to our\r\nnorthwest.  My approach route via Barnhart (west and north) wound up ill-advised, as the\r\ncell moved more SE than SSE, as hoped.  Worse still, the original cell croaked\r\njust as we got on it, and a new storm went up just to its southeast.  We were in\r\ncatch-up mode all of a sudden---on the wrong side of the storm!  The sparse road network\r\nwas a bummer, too.  Fortunately, it wasn't as if we were going to miss a tornado or\r\nanything spectacular.  This was also a rather high-based cell...just another hailstorm\r\nlike most of the others during the past few weeks.  We dropped down to I-10 and blasted east,\r\nto make sure that we weren't fighting with cores in order to get back in front (southeast of\r\nstorm).\r\n\r\nThis was accomplished nearly two hours later, between Sonora and\r\nJunction.  The activity north of I-10 was somewhat linear, but had a\r\ncool-looking laminar banding and a prominent lowering on the leading edge, with\r\nfrequent lightning.  We stayed with the storm to our Days Inn in Junction, with\r\nplenty of lightning and thunder and heavy rain into the night!  After checking\r\nin, we went to McDonalds for some food.  It was the only eatery in town still\r\nopen----until 11 p.m.  It was closed when we arrived around 10:30, though, as\r\nlightning had knocked out their computers.  We wound up, once again, with\r\nconvenience store food.<\/pre>\n
