The last few days of Tour 1 were slow, and we spent a couple of days poking around the Rio Grande (April 25 and 26). We managed to find a nice supercell at dusk near Amarillo on the 27th (this post), and we busted in the northeast Texas Panhandle on the 28th. Here are the particulars for these four days:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 25\/start Fort Stockton, lunch The Water Stop in Marfa, end Presidio (234 miles)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 26\/start Presidio, lunch Chili Pepper Cafe in Terlingua, end Brownfield (413 miles)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 27\/start Brownfield, TX, lunch The Grainery in Littlefield, end Amarillo (400 miles)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

April 28\/start Amarillo, lunch The Big Texan, end Kiowa, KS (325 miles)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On April 27th, storms were expected to develop in northeastern New Mexico during the afternoon, with a chance of them becoming severe as they moved into the Panhandles near and after sunset. We found a junky high-based storm north of Logan, New Mexico, and then a better one coming at us from the west.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This one near Tucumcari had a great look on radar, but again was very high-based. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

This cell dragged us into the western Texas Panhandle, where we had a view of much improved low-level structure near sunset to the north of I-40. Somewhere between Vega and Bushland we stopped to shoot the storm and its lightning, to the NNE and NE.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
