With an initial target near the western end of the Oklahoma panhandle, I drove northwest through Woodward, Guymon and Boise City. Large sections of the panhandle continue to have data reception issues and I wasn’t able to pay a lot of attention to the evolving weather on the drive. At Boise City, I was able to take my time and get caught up. At 4:54 P.M., radar showed severe thunderstorms had developed in eastern Hartley County, Texas – about 55 miles to my south. This was a little farther south than where I wanted to play, but being the only storm in town, I started back southeast toward Stratford. By 5:31 P.M., it became clear that the storm had right turned and was starting to move almost straight east toward Dumas. I continued south on US 287 and made my way to the west side of Dumas at 6:13 P.M. The view of the storm was extremely impressive. It had incredible structure with an intense looking core just to the northwest that wrapped into the hook area just to the southwest. There was a broad lowering to the west southwest with very fast motions / lifting and rotational /. I was almost sure that I would be seeing a tornado from that location. But, I’ve thought that before, and sure enough – not this time either. The storm maintained great structure and appeared to have a strong threat for a tornado as it moved across Dumas and down Highway 152. I believe that tornadoes occurred west and east of Dumas that others saw, but I was not able to make out. I observed quarter size hail – 8 miles east of Dumas in Moore County at 6:41 P.M. and golfball size hail – 9 miles east of Dumas in Moore County at 6:47 P.M. The combination of increasing crowds, the storm appearing to transition to a wetter hook region, and large hail beginning to fall on the only paved road in the area caused me to start looking for another target around 7:00 P.M. There was a small storm on radar that had a decent shape to it in far southern Union County, New Mexico that was moving northeast and would soon be entering Texas. It was a little tough leaving such an impressive storm, but conditions supported the new target storm continuing to organize as it got into the panhandle. During the first part of my trip back through Dumas and north toward Cactus, I wondered if I made the right decision as the intensity of the new storm starting to come down while crossing the border. There were also going to be serious road issues between Dalhart, Stratford and Boise City. A rather large area with no paved roads, and I had been warned by locals not to take dirt roads because of the recent rain. While driving north toward Stratford and back southwest toward Dalhart, the storm got new life and really looked good on radar. After working through some low clouds, the storm became visible to my west and north just west of Dalhart between 8:30 and 8:45 P.M. I was NOT disappointed by my decision to change storms! At 8:46 P.M., I observed a weak tornado which was likely near Ware in Dallam County. This was a best guess based on radar – I was several miles to the southeast. I stayed put allowing the storm to move northeast of me and grabbed shots with light from the already set sun at 8:59 P.M. I have stitched together three of these shots which can be seen here. With all the clear skies west of the storm, I started making a move north to see what it would look like after dark. On my way north on US 385, I observed a tornado which I guess was about 12 miles north of Chamberlin in Dallam County at 9:30 P.M. Stopping just a few miles south of the Oklahoma state line, the view of the storm to the southeast was beautiful! I watched lightning illuminate the updraft and flanking line of the storm for about 30 minutes before making the move toward Guymon for the night. At some point in the night, large hail started falling at the motel. Exhausted after a rewarding 600+ mile day, my head never came off the pillow to see the time or the size.
