On The Road Again…

Looks like the forecast is holding steady. Just about to head out the door en route to Childress, TX. I’ll evaluate things there and decide if I want to go further north or not. It’s starting to look like a triple point may actually set up to the SW of Childress with that low that has developed as scheduled. The lastest RUC is breaking out some cells in that vicinity as well by 4 pm. Works for me! Looks like RUC is also now advertising the 2000+ CAPE I was expecting as well in the target area.

Did catch some wording on the SPC 11:30 am outlook I liked…

SURFACE BASED THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP FROM NORTH TO
SOUTH ACROSS THE REGION DURING THE AFTERNOON. THUNDERSTORMS WILL
BECOME MORE NUMEROUS...AND STRONGER AS THE DAY PROGRESSES.

I’ll try to update this post again when I get to Childress.

UPDATE 4:30 PM CDT

Currently sitting on the north side of Quanah, TX (just southeast of Childress) Winds were backed a little more here. I like this spot, good place to cross the Red River if needed. Tornado Watch has been issued. Just a waiting game now.
