June 12th: Two Supercells near Olney and Graham, Texas
| Another hot, muggy day with weak upper level winds. Two LP supercells form by late afternoon, one west of Seymour and one east of Seymour. I stay just in front of the eastern storm, but can see the western storm in the distance. |

| The storm evolves into a shelf cloud that drifts southeast as the rain core moves due east. |

|
| Near Graham, I stop chasing the poorly organized eastern storm and drive west to intercept the second storm, which has become a beautifully sculpted LP supercell. |
