June 2nd





What a day...being up for the last 40 hours or so....with driving to the target area in north central TX, chasing, than driving all the way back through the night to Greeley.....
The cells we chased near Abilene, TX were tornado warned cells...this was a beautiful green grotesque hail looking meso shelf cloud all in a great combo! We didn't arrive early enough to see the big hail or get up close to the developing foot wall cloud...we did however see the wall cloud from a far distance on the south side of the southeastern moving cell moving towards Abilene....beautiful shear as the storm produced an intense outflow...this creating massive wind gust and lots lots lots of rain! good stuff!
Later I will post a drive back severe thunderstorm that we encountered near Guthrie, TX in the middle of the night! This was producing probably the second best lightning storm in my chasing book! Incredible CGs, almost unbelievable.....so soon as I cut up the footage stills.....
