CHASE CASE 4

[CZandbergen]

Still hanging out in Tatum NM.

 

[Charles Kuster]

Based on the 18Z and 19Z data, I will continue driving past Littlefield, TX to Lehman, TX. I should be able to get there by about 1930Z.

I'm going to stick to my guns here in W KS. I'm currently heading south on 83 targeting Liberal where I can check on some of the storms moving NE up through the panhandles...

 

[Verne Carlson]

se NM/w TX gusting pretty good now - nice surface flow from the se. Still holding in Tatum, NM

 

[Danny Neal]

Sitting under a 70/59 SE breeze in Morton, TX. Hmmmm

 

[Damon Scott Hynes]

Still liking Lubbock. Me and Mike Leach are drinking Pearls, waiting for the tone to go off

 

[Bob Hartig]

SE surface winds have picked up, as Verne has mentioned. Pointless trying to toss the Frisbee anymore. Moisture is holding steady, maybe a slight decline from the last obs to the east in TX. Dewpoints actually look somewhat better to the north, but I've staked my claim in Tatum and see no compelling reason to move just yet.

Sitting under a 70/59 SE breeze in Morton, TX. Hmmmm

I stay put in Morton,tx...Instability is not the best so far but I guess the shear is outrageus.

 

[Scott Weberpal]

Heading west from Brownfield toward Plains.

 

[Kurt Hulst]

Hey, Patrick, you and I have got one heck of a Frisbee game going on, tossing that disc back and forth between Clovis, where you're at, and Tatum, where I'm hanging out! Kurt Hulst is on his way down here. Why don't you join us and shorten the distance? My throwing arm is feeling the strain. Though frankly, Clovis looks good, too. At this point, I think it's a waiting game.

Bob I have been here with you for awhile I think my disappearing on you in Chase Case #3 really has made you question my existence in Tatum.

[CZandbergen]

I am leaving Tatum to head for Lovington NM then west on 82 to intercept the tail end charlie cell in far SE NM.

 

[Greg McLaughlin]

Matt, could you provide a surface chart for the southern Plains at 20z?

 

[David Wolfson]

Multiple cells now firing to my west and southwest apparently from upper jet dynamics. Moving west from Hobbs a few miles to Arkansas Junction, NM, by 20:15Z., and possibly continuing west-northwest to intercept and crash into CZandbergen near Loco Hills.
