Last Updated on Wednesday, 27 January 2010 14:18 Written by Roger Hill
June 2nd took me to northwest Texas to play an outflow boundary from previous night's convection. Storms exploded in the extremely unstable atmosphere from Lubbock to Abilene, and many were tornado warned. The storm we chased near Roby was an HP supercell that produced tons of hail to softball size and a haboob that blinded us with tons of red Texas dirt.
NOTEL: Only thumbnail images are available for the pictures below.

Wall cloud which showed decent rotation. RFD dirt blowing out around the southern side of the wall cloud. |
Blowing dirt as the storm became outflow dominant. |
Updraft and blowing dirt from under it. |
Nice green hail core with baseball sized hail. |
Typical HP supercell structure. This was a monsterous storm! |
