The weekend of June 3\/4 was a good one for a change of tours (from Tour 5 to Tour 6), as the weather pattern was poor for severe weather on the Plains. The first day for Tour 6 was Monday, June 5, and the only slight risk area for severe was in Deep South Texas. We did an easy 180 miles from Denver to a little town called Antonito, which is on 285, south of Alamosa. There were some afternoon clouds over the high terrain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The chase outlook for the 6th wasn’t particularly good, but at least there would be some storms on the high plains of New Mexico. Instability would be weak-to-moderate, shear would be so-so at best, and low-level moisture was just okay, with dews in the mid-40s around Santa Rosa mid-afternoon. Low-level winds were nice, easterly at 10-15 knots. I liked the area down towards I-40 around Clines Corners. We stopped first at the NM\/CO state line, and then continued south.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first look at a storm was near Moriarty. This one was having problems getting organized — no surprise there. Eventually we were on some stronger updrafts a little farther east, near Clines Corners. A cell not too far to our northeast sported a low base and a ground-scraping lowering. Hmmm. There was little or no rotation evident, though. Some decent low-level shear and instability made things interesting for a little bit, though. As darkness fell we lumbered into Santa Rosa in the rain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
