6/8/2014 - Roswell to Carlsbad Supercells

We, once again, targeted eastern New Mexico. Two targets were in play: 1) Las Vegas area and 2) Roswell to Carlsbad region.  Stubborn cloud cover in northeastern New Mexico has us focused on the southern target by lunch, so we shifted to Vaughn, NM.  Early afternoon cu northwest of Roswell developed into a supercell that shifted southeast toward Carlsbad. The structure on this storm was HPish and nothing like the previous day. We eventually hopped on another supercell west of Carlsbad, which had beautiful structure. However, our perspective quickly closed as another storm to its immediate south sent of a left split toward us. We took shelter in a random, rural carport hoping for some big ice... all we got were quarters, which was somewhat disappointing considering the shelter we had. We called it quits and headed for Roswell, but not before taking in a couple twilight pics of the exiting system.
