Start:  Clayton, NM

End:  Raton, NM

367 miles

Day One/20Z

SPC Storm Reports

 

What is this?  A chance for severe weather?!  SPC showed a marginal risk of severe storms on the High Plains of NM and CO.  I targeted the area around Clayton.  Why not?  We were already at Clayton!  My copious notes indicate that we saw some high-based updrafts from Logan to Clayton.  Near sunset, near Clayton, we were racing to an electrified cell.  We made it to a spot some ten miles WNW of Clayton to catch some pretty bolts with the cameras.
