Two targets in mind for Chase Day #2 (June 12)

Filed under: chase mode updates — Mike U @ 10:45 am

We are in Amarillo this morning with two targets in mind: The outflow
boundary from earlier morning storms draped west across northwest/west
central OK into the northern TX Panhandle. This region will be
underneath a maximum in 500mb winds with the highest CAPE upwards of
3000-4000 J/kg by late afternoon. So, target “A” is east-northeast of
here into northwest OK along this outflow boundary. Target “B” is
northwest of here where storms formed yesterday along the Hwy 50
corridor around La Junta. There are northeast winds this morning in
Springfield CO and Clayton NM, but these winds are expected to become
southeasterly later this afternoon. We are torn between the two
areas, and will make a final decision by Noon as to which area to
play. Stay tuned.
