Sunday 1st May 2022 - Texas Panhandle (Enhanced Risk)

Started today from Norman with a general target of the Southern Texas Panhandle and NW Texas. SPC went with a 5% Tornado Risk and Storms today would have long elongated hodographs suggestive of Splitting storms. We got onto a Storm just North of the I-20 Interstate which was struggling as it was moving east with continual splitting. Our attention was drawn to a storm further east on a Stationery Boundary so we headed east to near Snyder. When we headed North the Supercell which was almost stationery gained a Tornado Warning and a Confirmed rain wrapped Tornado was reported at this time SE of Snyder, we had a great view from just SW of the Storm of the backside of the Mesocyclone and various funnels and rapid rising motion was occuring. Although we never spotted the Tornado from our location the RFD And Occlusion process was a sight to see from our position. Light was now fading so we rolled into Snyder to gas up and call it quits for the day.
