We targeted Albuquerque today. Storms were already firing off as we drove down from Raton, and we managed to get to a storm which had been tornado-warned, but it tended to wane, as new storms formed to its south.
We then headed east through very heavy rain, on I-40, and turned south at Moriarty. We saw some nice cloud structure on the way south as a supercell approached, although it became more linear after a while.
We then headed east to Vaughn, pausing to look back at the line of storms. At Vaughn we let the storms roll over, although they were non-severe by then where we were, but there were some good, close lightning bolts!
We then decided to head to Amarillo for the night as there is a risk of storms around this area on Monday.
All in all a reasonable chase day which behaved as expected.
