West Texas and New Mexico beauty – May 27, 2005

We ended up with more than we thought we were going to get this afternoon.  We took our time driving toward eastern New Mexico.  We came across a few storms across far west Texas near the towns of Friona and Dimmitt.  These were weak and we continued northwestward to storms near Logan, NM.  We made a brief stop to watch a small cell near Glenrio, NM and then continued on to storms that showed better lightning potential.  We got to see some nice daytime lightning west of Nara Visa, NM and a beautiful sunset east of Romero, TX.  It was in this area where we had a few other lightning ops.  One spot west of Channing, TX treated us to heavy, small hail that covered the road in places.
