After spending almost a week at home, I decided to hit the road again on another road trip, this time to Lubbock. I hit the road Sunday night the 4th and got out to Lubbock by about 10 pm, grabbing a room for the night.
Spent the morning in the hotel room working on a few items before hitting the road after lunch time. Convection was ongoing near DFW and an east/west oriented outflow boundary remained westward towards the New Mexico line. As it was slowly drifting south, I decided to start heading south.
Instability on the 18Z Midland sounding was reasonably decent. A little warm between 800mb-700mb.
SPC Mesoanalysis at 20Z
Long Drive Home
I’d end up driving to the new Spark hotel in Wichita Falls where I was able to get a great room for $81 tax included. That’s the cheapest hotel room I’ve had in years.
