3rd night in Amarillo at the same Super 8 Hotel, don't think I've stayed in the same place for so long. Anyway, same area as Sunday really for storms developing along dryline moving east, though a higher risk of severe weather with more moisture/CAPE meaning some large hail likely as well as strong wind gusts.
Stopped at Groom to east of Amarillo at the Cross of Jesus Christ Ministry to watch the cloud bubble up along the dryline to our west.
Eventually this convection broke the cap and severe-warned storms were developing early evening from Amarillo northwards and tracking NE. We intercepted a batch of supercells neat Stinnett in the eastern texas Panhandle NE of Amarillo, we saw all three types of supercell surround us: Classic, LP (Low Precipitation) and HP (High Precipitation). A classic-type supercell on the southern end of this mass of severe-warned storms had a rotating wall cloud for a time an dropped a funnel briefly. The lightning started cranking up too as the light was fading.
We found some large hail by th road side north of Stinnett.
Finished the day with Pizza and overnight stay in Dumas, Texas.
