We had a very exciting end of our trip! We saw another tornado near Sundown, TX. We saw beautiful supercell structure with this storm, including a breathtaking beaver tail. The next day we launched a weather balloon at Lake Colorado City State Park and got to see a thunderstorm break the cap. 🌪️⛈️🎈

We have had a very active past few days. We saw a majestic supercell in New Mexico and experienced its RFD winds. We ran into the ICECHIP team and got to see the DOW radar. We also saw a wedge tornado near Lubbock, TX yesterday. We have two chase days left! ⛰️🧊🌪️ @vermontstateu.bsky.social
