NAM Snow on Thursday

The 12z run of the NAM from this morning shows much more accumalting snow from the system set to move across the area on Thursday. I hate to be talking snow right now but someone may see some significant totals. It will be interseting to see how this unfolds.

Latest total accumulations from this model are shown below...

March 2, 2008 Pictures

Here are a few video grabs from yesterday's chase in sw OK. Probaly won't write a full length report on website for this chase though.

I might get a video of the tornado warned storm we were on from Sean Waugh. He had his camera on the tripod for the duration and I might try to put together a timelapse piece of it to show the true rotation!

Also, Alex Lamers was with my group and he has a more detailed report here...

Almost..

Almost bagged a tornado today as a tornado warned supercell we where on looked like it would produce for a while. No luck but still a good chase! Have pics/report tomorrow hopefully. Right now I'm preparing for the snow...

About to Head Out

Things are looking fairly decent and I'll be heading out towards western/southwestern Oklahoma around 11am. Much of the warm sector is already filled with a low stratus deck already but that was expected. According to latest visible satellite, there are some areas near and south of Childress, TX with clear skies this morning. This may be a good sign that all the areas won't be under heavy cloud cover all day and that there will be pockets of nice heating along the dryline as it mixes east. I may update mid-day when I find a nice wi-fi spot.

Storm Chase Sunday March 2nd

I'll definitely be chasing tomorrow likely somewhere in western or north Texas. I'm not going to make a detailed forecast because the models are having quite a bit of difficulty in timing and placement of a lead shortwave that will eject out across the target area Sunday afternoon/evening. But I'm gonna look at things real closely in the morning and watch how it unfolds throughout the day and decide on a more precise target then. Right now I'm planning on leaving from Norman around 8-9am and heading down to Wichita Falls area and possibly then to Abilene region. I'll post again in the morning.
