Chase Day 23 - Fri 1st June - Tx Panhandle

[Nick F]

1st chase day for Tour 4 today. We are leaving from our current overnight stay, near DFW airport, to head NW up the 287 Highway To Heaven to the Texas Panhandle - where we hope to get on some supercells. SPC have a SLIGHT risk for this area, main severe potential will be for large hail/strong winds - hopefully will be some good structure thrown in too.

Just to add to Nick's post , here is the daily briefing from Nick for today Friday 1st June .

Guys, your live video streaming is down again and its Friday night, the one night when we can all sit up late and watch through the night :-( just when it should be getting exciting too.

[Dorsetbred]

Maybe they're being nailed by the cell thats moving it, it appears right over them at the moment

[Village]

oh its just come back up again

[Arron]

Having real issues with the internet where we are and am doing my best to keep it going, should be up now and am regularly checking it

[pottyprof]

Was worth the effort to see the structure of that thing. Can't wait to see the video/stills....

[Arron]

Great lightning show to finish the evening off, now heading to chilis for a beer and food
