David and I are currently heading slightly south and west of Brownfield to position ourselves south of the warm front and east of the dryline. With the interaction of the boundary, the increased clearing, and substantial heating, the atmosphere should become strongly unstable increasing the risk for an isolated tornado. Thus being one of the reasons for out departure away from the Mod risk area. That being said, any thing that goes up, should propagate NEward into the Mod risk.

Note: As i write this towers are becoming visible to our southwest

Also, the LIVE ChaseCAM is up and running for your enjoyment.

    Out of curiosity; when you all mention the rolling plains area exactly where is that in TX? Just want to have an idea of where to be watching this afternoon…

    The rolling plains is basically the region east of the caprock and south of the red river.

    I had a blast “riding” with y’all yesterday. The cloud formations and areas of rotation you showed us live were awesome. I also loved seeing you stop to pick up some of the huge hail stones from one of the storm.

    God bless you and keep yourself safe.
