Storm chase today: Aug 25

Filed under: Storm Chasing — Mike U @ 10:08 am

I’m heading out to Clayton, NM to chase today.  Dewpoints are very high by northeastern New Mexico standards with 63 at Clayton and 60 at Raton.  The mid and upper level winds will not be all that strong, but southeast winds at the surface will allow for some marginal deep layer shear for supercells… and given the expected CAPE of 2500-3000 J/kg, a photogenic storm may materialize… It’s enough to get me out the door to chase in my favorite area:  northeastern New Mexico.
