April 7th was a decent looking day with a strong dryline/warm front intersection over western Oklahoma and north Texas. We arrived mid afternoon as a tornadic supercell developed west of Wichita Falls. SPC issued a PDS tornado watch and upgraded to Moderate Risk. We witnessed a brief tornado in the occluded mesocyclone, and then had great photo ops for two other lpish supercells. We also encountered tennisball to baseball sized hail with all three storms. Check out the photos below. Click on the thumbnail for a larger image. ENJOY!
 

 

 

Electra,TX tornadic supercell.

 

Storm had become lp by time we were able to catch it.

 

Second supercell, southwest of Wichita Falls.

 

Also an lp storm with tennisball sized hail.

 

Lowering with rapid rising scud to the east of the clear slot. I though we might get a tornado soon, but not to be.

 

Third supercell, near Archer City, Texas.

 

Another shot of the updraft, shot at 800 ISO, 5 second exposure.

 

Same storm, moments later.

 

My favorite photos of the year thus far!

 

Beautiful lp storm with the starts out and last colors of the setting sun underneath it.

 

Lightning illumination updraft and downdraft.

 

Final shot as the storm continued to decay.
