Forecast update for Wednesday
|
I've lost more than $1 million to copyright infringement in the last 15 years, and it's finally brought an end to my professional storm chasing operation. This page is a detailed account of the biggest threat to my photography and video operation that I had to battle daily to just barely survive, and eventually could not overcome. It's a problem facing all of my colleagues as well. |
Just a quick update to comment on the 00z model runs that just came out regarding tomorrow's severe weather potential. Nothing much has changed from this morning's runs, except maybe nudging the track of the low a little farther west. Timing of the bulk of the precip looks favorable for stronger storms, in the afternoon when temps should be at their max. The item of concern continues to be sun-robbing clouds and precipitation - and looking at the radar, the large precip shield is really not moving northward all that much now. I'll have to wait until morning to see where the rain and clouds are and where they're moving. Cloud cover is the key tomorrow - and I expect the SPC's placement of the probable 'slight' risk will be dependent on how far north clear skies can make it. Any substantial clearing between Morehead, KY and here will mean West Virginia should be well inside a slight risk for hail/wind, and will be enough for me to pull the trigger on a local-area chase.
I'm hoping I'll be up to getting out tomorrow, as I'm trying to fight off a case of the flu that I started with earlier today (slight fever and muscle aches). I've been known to still chase when I'm sick though, so if things look good enough in the morning I'll probably head out regardless.
