Chase 2009 Day 7 Discussion

Wahay, get some closeup handshots for the hail, most I've got pics of is pea sized at best.

Just a quick one, they're in good internet coverage today and the stream is in full swing:

I read that 45 miles east as a joking comment, those cells are long gone and rain-wrapped.

There's a developing severe cell closing in on Fort Worth that is going to track across the DFW metroplex and cause a lot of havoc. It would be very difficult to chase through all that traffic and congestion. However, there is another cell trailing, there could be a play developing to go south after the Fort Worth cell clears the west side of the metroplex and see if the trailer is worth a look at some point near Granbury or Cleburne.

[Paul]

They're definitely heading East Roger, into Denton now.

[Roger J Smith]

Okay, I see what the plan is, they are going to intercept the cell crossing the metroplex when it has left the Dallas area, let's hope it holds together that long. If not, the trailer is heading east on a more southerly course and they might be able to pick that one up south of the I-20.

[Paul]

Can see the cell slowly closing in on Denton on this pretty cool page:

The NOAA have just extended the storm warning to the denton area, but just too late - can understand why the team has left early, the thought of a nice steak in the cow camp and a relaxed evening must be a very tempting thought.

Looking at the stream it seems like the team have decided to put themselves in the line of the cell after all.

Ok Hi bit of a disapointing day really, pleased with our forecast this AM before SPC 10% :-) and held short of there along the line at BONHAM but it soom was evident that the cold front had pushed even futher Southeast steering any lively storms futher and futher South, Tornado sirens went off in Paris just after we left to intercept the cell head on however this proved to be foolish and we also ABORT ABORT ABORT !!! it was hammering down with 3 indicators on the BARON it was really not worth the big suprise! as it turned out the cell got dragged south and shrunk rapidly doing a right turn as so many had done today.

Highlite of the day was theStorms in Norman early this morning and meeting up with pals the OUTLAW CHASERS who I believe ran into you Paul as well??? we are not chasing into Hick Town so careful planning tomorrow and maybe a run across to the west ready for tuesday depending on models tomorrow.

To sum up , it was a difficult chase day poor visibility and rapidly changing conditions.

yes thats on a bit of a loop on the weather channel Dallas and DFW continues to get a beating today, we are at Paris for the night and I just see we might catch a storm in the next 2 hours which will be a bonus maybe it will be sooner :-)
