Makings Of An HP Supercell--Texas Style

This was the scene at 5:58 pm CDT, Monday, May 16, 2016, one mile north of Dalhart, Texas. We are pulled off to the side of a newer road connecting US Highway 385 (seen in the background of the above image) and US Highway 54. The above image looks west toward one end of a High Precipitation (HP) supercell. The supercell features a roll cloud on its leading edge, seen at the lower right of the image.

Panning a little further right and now looking northwest, the roll cloud is seen more clearly.

Still further to the right and now looking northeast at the right edge of the massive supercell, which is taking on the classic "mothership" appearance.

Nearly the same view, but including Ryan Alliss capturing the spectacle with his cell phone camera. Our storm chase would quickly resume, heading down the highway toward the background. Nikon D7200 DSLR camera.
