23Z Surface map<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The first day of Tour 3, with Bob C., was out of Oklahoma City. \u00a0The previous three days were hard down days chase-wise, so it was really nice to see a slight risk area along the NM\/TX border. \u00a0SPC gave the area west of Lubbock a 2 percent tornado chance. \u00a0The 23Z map above shows mid-50 dews at Lubbock, and decreasing west of there to the NM border. \u00a0The southerly wind at Lubbock comes up against cooler ESE winds at Plainview, which suggests a boundary or front. \u00a0This was the area that I liked. \u00a0Initial development would be out west on the dry line, near the NM border. \u00a0Upper level winds today from the west were good enough for supercells. \u00a0The boundary might help some for a tornado, but cloud bases would start out very high.<\/p>\n

We watched the early high-based cells mature as they drifted to the east. \u00a0These were first on the NM side, west of Stegall. \u00a0From Needmore to \u00a0Anton the high-based activity continued, but overall organization and structure were ho-hum.<\/p>\n
