Severe Chances Next Week?

Some ensembles are hinting at SW mid/upper-level flow going into next week. First chances are Mon/Tues with a weaker western trough possibly ejecting out into the northern plains. Another trough is forecast to develop later in the week but now some members are cutting-off the low from the mean flow. If it would eject out next weekend sometime (9/21-9/23) it could bring a favorable setup for severe storms on the plains. Will post updates if it looks like a chase may occur within the next week or so.

Cool Night Ahead

I guess I'm just excited about the first of the 50's F this year. The cold frontal passage occurred yesterday evening (9/10) accompanied with low dewpoints and gusty north winds. Tonight into tomorrow morning, conditions favor relatively good radiational cooling. Dewpoints around the state are in the mid 40's to lower 50's F so I expect the temperature to mimic those pretty closely. Here's what the weather service thinks...

Old Lightning Pics

Its been a while since we've had a good t-storm here in Norman so I thought I would post some of these to ease the pain.

I am still hopeful that the fall season will present one or two more storm chases before 07' is over. After that, I'm ready for winter and all it has to offer. I still plan to chase a blizzard if the opportunity presents itself while I'm out of school. Here are some winter storms I've experienced.
