26 May 1994 (Lubbock non-tornadic supercells)
Synopsis:
Upslope initiated storms in weak CAPE and moderate shear in west Texas.
Intercept:
The first storm was intercepted near Cotton Center, and appeared to be the left-hand member of a splitting pair. The storm developed a moderate low-level mesocyclone but no tornado. This storm was throughly documented with mobile mesonet obs and three P-3 volume scans. The second storm intercept was on a stationary supercell near Reese Air Force Base at Lubbock. This was an exceptionally steady storm, and very thoroughly documented.
