May 31st & June 2nd, 2005 Texas & Colorado Supercells
Last Updated on Tuesday, 05 January 2010 00:03 Written by Roger Hill
Despite strong shear and better moisture, both of these days would prove unfruitful for tornadoes. However, two incredible supercells developed that had beautiful structure. The second supercell, June 2, also produced a weak tornadic circulation near Arriba, Colorado. Both of these storms turned HP, and produced hail baseball to softball size.

Incredible HP supercell near Hereford, Texas on May 31. Beautiful inflow band wrapping around the low level meso, which was mostly obscured by rain and very large hail. Look under the inflow band and you will see how low to the ground the cloud structure was. It was also rotating very strongly.

Another shot of this beautiful storm! I took a different exposure to lighten the storm features.

Hail almost golfball size. It got much larger than this!

Low level mesocyclone wrapping in rain. If there were a tornado here, nobody could have seen it coming.
