Surface Map\/20Z<\/p>\n

An upper-level low was headed east, near northeastern Texas, providing some mediocre NW flow over the central Texas. \u00a0Instability was quite good, with CAPE values above 3000 J\/kg along and south of I-10, where dew points were near 70F. \u00a0The overall wind profile was poor for well-organized and long-lasting supercells.<\/p>\n

Surface moisture convergence developed midday near Menard, and we watched a heavy and marginally severe storm north of town (first two images below). \u00a0An additional storm or two pushed us southward towards I-10. \u00a0This activity was rather prolific with the CG lightning (third image).<\/p>\n

We headed farther south for mid-late afternoon development, between Rock Springs and Del Rio. \u00a0We wound up beneath a hailer or two (with stones up to 1.5 inches in diameter). \u00a0North of Del Rio, a big storm to the south (last image below) looked healthy and somewhat organized for a bit, but it was better suited for chasers in Mexico. \u00a0We made our way back north to San Angelo for the night.<\/p>\n
