Begin: Garden City, Kansas
End:
Moisture was a little better today, with dew points into the mid-50s into the eastern Texas Panhandle. We were along I-40 west of Shamrock, and headed down 83 towards a developing storm. This one struggled. We went north a little to another one, maybe dropped a little south to the original one. These cells were mediocre at best. One a little south of Shamrock had some pretty good structure for about 10 minutes. When we got close, it fizzled.
Some small cumulus clouds were developing to our NNW, north of I-40. I decided to head north as sunset neared, in case this area perked up. As we reached Canadian, there was a wimpy cell or two around. During a pit stop at Canadian, a storm quickly developed and organized just south of town. It looked nice in the sunset light, and I was wishing that we weren’t in town at this point in time! We scooted NNE a few miles from here to watch the supercell at dusk. Lightning wasn’t very frequent as the storm struggled for the most part.
