With the front having pushed much further south into Texas than expected the prospects for chasing today in west Texas are slim. If we realllllly wanted to we could probably chase again in northeastern Texas under the low overcast, but then again, no thanks. The models seem to show that the only convection that will happen today in the western part of the state will be over the Big Bend country near the Rio Grande...and yes that is very near Mexico. Neither of us is willing to go that far, so we're planning to mosey down I-20 toward Midland in hopes that the front will get pushed back north, we'll see some sun (I'm very tired of overcast as it reminds me of the past week in Virginia), and a lone storm or two will bubble up within our reach. That's probably as good as it gets today.
Tomorrow actually looks slightly better in west Texas for storms, and then Tuesday I may get my first panhandle dryline chase as a new system marches across the Plains. Keeping our fingers crossed here in west Texas!
