5/28 - 11am CDT - Small Chance for Severe Weather, Pictures

We're on the road toward Lubbock, TX from Abilene, TX in search of some possible isolated storms. Overnight, things got a little bit better forecast wise, so we scrapped the New Mexico plan and Carlsbad Caverns that we had planned for today. Our destination is around West Central Kansas or East Colorado by tonight so we can be in position for tomorrow in Nebraska. We'll be looking for storms on the way (SPC put out a SLIGHT risk for severe storms for Eastern Colorado), but mostly this is a travel day.

Here's one of the immense wheat fields that we stopped at in Texas yesterday as we waited for cells to form:




This is the infamous cow pasture where a wall cloud nearly gave birth to a tornado:
