Supposedly a tornado was produced out of this wrapping meso but darkness underneath cloud base prohibited us from seeing any tornado that might have developed. We continued southeast and south as the chasers became the chasees. Eventually we turned back to the west and skirted under a new cell developing south of Hamlin. As we passed underneath the cell we encountered a few hail stones perhaps one inch in diameter. My forecast was right on the money, but poor road decisions early on cost me the wedge.
Storm chasing obviously takes more than just forecasting.
Much needed down time for R and R after averaging about 4 hours of sleep while working mids and little in the way of healthy food. I thought my chase season was over and done with. The day dawned quite unstable. All one needed to do was look at Amarillo's sounding. My target would be anywhere in the eastern Texas Panhandle.
