03-28 Storms

Well as figured the line of supercells did merge into a squall line event.. and was in its weakening stage when it got to our area a little after 11 pm. It did have heavy rain and some gusty winds up to around 45 50 mph and some lightning. Within 2 hours of the storm passage temps dropped from mid 60's into the mid 40's... Was an ok second storm of the season... we need better...

And i will mention this is the first time in about 8-9 yrs that we have been approached by the police while out spotting. At least he was very cool about it. And... The fact that i accidentally locked us in the back of the truck when i went to shut the hatch cuz of the rain coming in OOPS.. It was the wind... really....

One other note: Got to meet Mark and Suzie as they came back up north from chasing along the gulf..They had some cool vid of intense lightning.... It was great meeting you guys and we definatly gotta do some runs together

So far so good

Well here it is 4 pm and a line of storms is developing in far western Ky... Tornado watch issued for that area and one warning so far... Looks like some pre frontal storms are developing now that we got a break in the overcast here in lexington.. well see what these want to do..
For now nothing going on in the area to really go after so its a sit and wait game....

Until the next post.......

Late Season Blizzard

Yup that's just what it is.. the plains are looking at a late season blizzard of epic proportions. from Colorado into Texas into Oklahoma and Kansas and a bit east are seeing record snowfall for this time of year... This ongoing with the flooding in the northern sections of the US and drought in the SE, Altho the SE is getting a fair bit of rain this week. Severe storms been rocking the gulf states for 2 days now with several reported tornadoes from East Texas to Georgia. and its not done yet....

The severe extent of the storms we could be facing is limited and depends alot on where this low goes.. Right now models have the low tracking along the Ohio river... Yeah well be in the warm sector but it will be brief... If the low tracks south then well see a chilly rain... if it moves more to the north then well definately increase the chances for severe weather across the area even better if there are some breaks in the cloud cover allready over the area.

Well just have to wait and see...

Possible Severe Weather this weekend

From the looks of things we could very well see our first real severe event in the area this season.... Yes weve had a few already but those didn't turn out to be anything but winds and rain...

NWS LMK is talking about hail storms and heavy rains.. for Friday into friday night then strong to severe storms saturday into saturday night with a threat for hail high winds and isolated tornadoes. well see how this plays out. we will be ready to go for this one tho.... Bring it on LOL

Storm Season 2009

Well the 09 season is about to get rolling once we get rid of the last traces of this winter air... temps have been all over with 70's one day and mid 40's the next.

Cant wait for this season to get going.. I have a feeling this will be an active season....
