Mission Location: SW OK near Hobart


The armada had moved from Amarillo, TX to Clarendon by early afternoon.  A cell fired almost directly over Clarendon and moved NE.  This became our first target.  CAMA and CAMB followed DOW7/6, respectively.  No deployment was made on this cell as it weakened with time.  The second target cell moved southward near an outflow boundary in SW OK.  DOW6/7 deployed on this cell north of Hobart, OK.  CAMA deployed with DOW7 at: 35.166428N, 99.131247W and took pictures and HD video from 23:15 – 23:44 UTC.  A couple of pictures were taken before deployment on the way to Sentinal, OK that showed some lowering on the southern flank of the storm.  CAMB deployed with DOW6 at: 35.044145N, 99.062443W and took pictures and HD video from 23:24 – 23:40 UTC.  The storm was decaying at the time of deployment.  The final target of the day was near Sweetwater, OK.  By the time the armada was in the vicinity of the storm, it also began to decay.  CAMA and CAMB did not deploy on this storm.
