Short, backyard chase yesterday around the Lubbock area. Thanks to Steve Miller of Amarillo for the heads up, as I was working my side job yesterday and not expecting much after the models downplayed everything.
I have posted the full chase report on my website, with a few more images as well!
Best storm of the day got going just NW of Lubbock, TX and matured east of Abernathy. Had some of the best structure to it I have seen in a quite a while, looking like a bomb had gone off over the West Texas landscape.
Dropped quite a bit of hail up to golfball size before everything came together as one big complex of storms just off the caprock. Did find some 2.5″ hail north of Quitaque that had been there for about 15 minutes, so it probably was the baseball size hail that had been reported before it melted a little.
Treated to a great sunset once again with the storm towers taking on all sorts of colors as the sun went down! Was hoping for some lightning shots, but the electrical activity died down as dark set in.
Another, better shot at chasing today!
