Friday June 11, 2011 Chase Log


The outlook for the morning started off like this:

...SRN PLAINS...
  
   FARTHER SOUTH ACROSS THE PLAINS OF OK/NWRN TX STRONG HEATING WILL
   ONCE AGAIN ALLOW SFC TEMPERATURES TO SOAR TO NEAR 100F IN ADVANCE OF
   WIND SHIFT.  SUCH STRONG HEATING WILL INDUCE DEEP THERMALS AS LAPSE
   RATES STEEPEN AND INHIBITION SHOULD BE NEGLIGIBLE BY 22-23Z ALLOWING
   FOR SCATTERED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT.  WITH BASES EXPECTED TO BE
   NEAR 700MB AND SFC TEMP/DEW POINT SPREADS POSSIBLY APPROACHING
   40-50F...STRONG DOWNBURSTS ARE POSSIBLE DUE TO DRY SUB-CLOUD LAYER.



Although the outlook was less than exciting, it was still worth heading out later in the afternoon to search for the storms that did fire.  Unfortunately, they were late bloomers and what we did get in the area made for some nice sunset images.  This final SPC tally is listed:
