May 1st kept us in northern Texas playing a high CAPE/fairly low shear day. We had strongly deviant moving supercells with pretty structure, tornado warned but never did produce much, other than large hail, a funnel and heavy rain. Still, two very pretty structured supercells were observed.

Approaching the first Stamford area supercell from the east. Nice base with inflow band streaming in from the FF core.

Pretty structure with cg.

Storm became a bit disorganized as it cycled.

Nice occluded meso with nub funnel. Thought we were in business here.

More western shot of the structure and occluded meso.

New lowering forms as rotation increased.

Near dusk as a new supercell formed on the front north of Stamford and became tornado warned.
