Storm Chase Log: June 19, 2007

#1 Postby SamSagnella » Sun Aug 05, 2007 12:04 pm

Although we got a way late start today, we caught up with the outflow-dominant supercell to the north and west of Hennessey. After jogging back and forth along HWY51, trying to stay clear of the precip, we found a perfect vantage point in a cemetery just north of town. We snapped some photos as the sun was setting, and headed back in the direction of Norman. The lightning associated with the developing MCS was pretty incredible, and it was a very enjoyable drive home.

Near Guthrie we stopped to watch a new storm that appeared to have formed just ahead of the main line, and observed several interesting features (no discernable rotation, though it was definitely suspicious looking) between lightning flashes. Among the most interesting aspects of today's chase were the observed temperature changes of >15F in BOTH directions, as we passed ahead of, and were overtaken by, the gust front south of Guthrie, and again near the Edmond area.
