Just approaching Clayton now. I had a fair day of landscape + sky
photography of scattered virga showers. These provided for some
decent photographic opportunities…however the color at sunset didn’t
really pan out like I had hoped. Still got some okay images late this
afternoon through the mid-evening hours. Tomorrow is May 1, and I
will spend tomorrow afternoon at Capulin Volcano. Some additional
showers are expected to form along the Raton Mesa given the very cold
temperatures aloft, so there may be a repeat tomorrow of what I did
late this afternoon/evening. I will then head to Dodge late tomorrow
evening, as Sunday May 2nd could be a chase day across Southwest
Kansas, if this morning’s NAM model was right… 800 to 1000 J/kg CAPE
with some low level convergence amidst cold temperatures aloft. This
just may be the last hurrah for chasing/photogrpahy during my vacation
time. Monday and Tuesday I may be spending in Dodge for the end of my
vacation as the severe weather pattern is crap these days it continues
to appear.

Glorified rainshower chasing
Time, 3:30 PM. The idea is to head south west toward rain showers in the western Oklahoma panhandle out towards Clayton, and I hope it is for some artsy fartsy images around sunset with these showers. I will stay in Clayton tonight, more than likely.
