Tuesday 24th May 2022 - Texas (Slight Risk)
Started today in Lubbock and had a very firm target of San Angelo which would be smack bang on the Triple Point and got down their in plenty of time for a nice Lunch. Towers were bubbling away nicely on the boundary around 2pm.
A Storm duly erupted 15 miles west of San Angelo on the triple point and moved slowly North East before stalling and splitting. Structure was really starting to take shape now.
Structure now with Baseball Sized Hail
The Storm then encountered lot of storm mergers so we took Highway 87 south of Town and watched a brief 1 Minute Tornado drop to our West.
The Storm never gained a Tornado Warning even having 88kts of Gate to Gate Shear. I have since sent the radar grabs to NWS San Angelo and we are awaiting a response from them as other chasers also documented the Tornado. After this the main storms grew upscale into a fast moving east moving bow echo so we dropped even further south to a discrete Supercell south of Sonora for the end of the day and a finish in Junction (Texas)
Some nice Mammatus to end the day as well.
