April 26th, 2008 Texas High Based Supercell
Last Updated on Monday, 04 January 2010 18:22 Written by Roger Hill
April 26th featured a diving shortwave from the northern Rockies, and meager moisture return behind a departing storm in the eastern US. Shear was respectable, but with limited moisture, we new there wouldn't be much of a tornado threat. However, the thought of high based supercells producing hail and good lighting was enough to get us east of Lubbock, Texas. A nicely structured storm formed and tracked southeast for several hours, producing hail to 2" in diameter, decent structure and tons of awesome lightning. Check out the photos below!
