Mesoscale Discussions (MCDs):
Another in a slew of marginal chase days. Not much to say, other than that we didn't get to the supercells SW of Vernon quickly enough before it gusted out and before more convection developed to its southwest. We continued to move south in attempts to get ahead of the cells and get on the "tail-end charlie", and we finally did so a few miles ENE of Throckmorton. By this time, a mesocyclone had developed to the NW of Throckmorton, and we collected some data on this feature before we were overtaken by the storm. Though we only experienced 30-40mph winds, the heart of the bow echo moved several miles to our southwest.
