Decided to take a bit more southerly option. Will be stopping in Olney, TX to watch the convection trying to get going nearby.

05/05/08 Storm Chase
Errands completed and hitting the road in just a minute for eastern NM. SPC has issued a Severe Thunderstorm watch for all of Eastern NM east of the Rockie Mountains, and a couple of counties in to western TX. Supercells expected, and couple of tornadoes possible. Convention has already begun with storms underway just east of the mountains.
I will be heading west toward Lovington, NM and possibly on to Roswell. Not giving up the option to drop south. CAPEs are a little higher down that way, I’ll play it by ear and make adjustments as needed.
I’ll be running solo, so not sure how often I can update the blog today during the chase. LIVE ChaseCam will be active here shortly. I haven’t chased in eastern NM in a couple of years, so I am not sure how good my data coverage out that way will be. Last time I was out that was, there was none. Coverage has improved greatly, so hopefully I will be surprised. Availability of the LIVE ChaseCam of course will hinge on the ability to get that data connection out in the wild. Hopefully things have improved.
