Abstract
During the Verification of the Origins of Rotation in Tornadoes EXperiment (VORTEX), severe thunderstorms occurred on 26 May 1994, near Lubbock, Texas. The right member of a storm split, which occurred just west of Lubbock, produced heavy rain and hail (accumulations of up to 6 inches in sparse locations) which damaged over 15,000 acres of crops. A unique and comprehensive set of observations of this storm was obtained by way of several observing platforms. Although this storm was non-tornadic, it merits very close inspection and diagnosis, given that well-observed non-tornadic storms must be compared with equally well-observed tornadic storms to adequately address VORTEX hypotheses. In this paper, data analysis methodology and issues are the primary focus. Some results are presented and discussed.
