Storm chasing adventures with students

5pm update on the Mexico/US border. Amazing view of the structure. A rotating but disorganized wall cloud.

445pm update on the cell near the US/Mexico border that we’re chasing. Storm is becoming more linear and looks to be cycling. Good stricture and lots of cloud to ground lightning though.

Chasing this cell near the Mexico US border. Noticing a wall cloud from it.

Had an awesome lunch at Keith’s in Odessa! Now we await initiation⛈️

We are off! One final chase of the trip as we are going to be targeting some big Southwest Texas hailers today #txwx

Our chasing day has come to an end. The storms we were following began moving at 75 mph to the east! It was a fun chase day today, and we can’t wait for the next one!

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

While chasing in the town of Hennessy, our crew found some impressive hail!

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

We are approaching the cells over Cleo Springs! With multiple strong hail cores and 60 mph winds, these thunderstorms were already threatening. A Flash Flood Warning has also been issued for the area, along with 3 separate Tornado Warnings

Beautiful cloud structure to our west! This is a picture of the thunderstorms near Greenfield right now. They are visible to us as we head north towards the cells near Sharon, Oklahoma.

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

Our chase group is headed towards this cell outside of Arnett, Oklahoma! With high CAPE near the dry line and a potentially dangerous situation being issued in the state, our day is far from over!

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

At the park, we ran into the storm chasers from Mississippi State, and got snow cones! It was awesome to meet another group of chasers who love meteorology!

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

Our group is staking out at Elmer Thomas Park! It is a very scenic place, and full of geese as well

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

Cells have begun to form around Blackwell, Texas! This is caused by convection on the dry line in western Texas right now. Expect severe weather early this evening, with more scattered showers before then.

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

Our chasers have stopped for lunch in Lawton, Oklahoma! Initiation of storms still looks to be a few hours out, and we will be ready after a nice lunch

[Dr. Dave Call and his storm chasing students @DCChaseClass]

Van 2 is ready for another great chase day! We will be heading for Lawton, Oklahoma, and monitoring how conditions develop from there!
