April 28, 2009 Carlsbad, New Mexico Supercell
Last Updated on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 14:36 Written by Roger Hill
April 28th took me to southwest Texas and southeast New Mexico to chase upslope storms. By late afternoon such a supercell developed near the Guadalupe mountains and tracked eastward along the Texas/New Mexico border towards Jal. The storm had pretty structure and was tornado warned for a long period of time. There may have been a brief tornado but we were too far away due to poor roads to confirm it. The storm produced large hail and tons of lightning.
Pretty structure of the highly striated supercell, looking west. |
If you look close, you can see what "appears" to be a tornado. However, due to being 15 miles away, we could not confirm. A tornado report came from the storm at this time. |

More pretty structure. |
Nice structure along with the FF line in the foreground. |
Hail, covering the highway. |
