Day 4 2nd Chase On The Road

14.45pm, Pampa Texas

A day of decisions that have been "fine-tuned" since we set off this morning, but hey, that's the nature of chasing.

Updates in model output and SPC guidance have led us to favour a more western location within the Texas panhandle. The reasoning for this is that the dryline doesn't look like its going to be moving into Texas from New Mexico as far as previousloy thought. The eastern panhandle destination towards Childress now looks like being too far east to see anything before dark.

So now we're heading toward Amarillo once more from Pampa, where we'll take another look at things.

Hi Ben,

I think you're getting too hung-up on the weather. Remember - you're on holiday.

I thought I'd help by adding daily "Keithy Suggestions" to my map. Today's is out of this world!

Keep looking skyward!

Link us a weather-abbreviations-wiki :)

Hi John,

I struggle as well, but I know SPC - it's Storm Prediction Center.

Currently they are predicting big trouble on Saturday!

Well it looks like Ben has decided to go East in completely the wrong direction to my suggestion (Roswell, New Mexico).

Lucy - you're on!
