05-25-2001 - Analyzed data at the Fredericksburg, TX library (very
nice folks!). Good shear vectors, great turning, more 'sweet spot'
lapse rates, and moisture further to NW that on the 24th.
Headed W on 290 and I-10 with Ozona region as target.
Deep convection observed off to the west. Spoke to Al Moller who
was about an hour ahead of me on I-10 who confirmed that the
convection visible to the west was coming off the Davis Mountains
and thus much further west that I had estimated (one can see such
great distances in the clear W TX air!). Convective cluster improved
in appearance/organization as it moved SE towards Big Bend NP
(cycling through some very pronounced overshooting tops). Hard
convection was also observed to the S near P07. All the storms were
out of reach and that was that!
