  • 05/23/08 Chase Forecast Update

    Currently fueling up in Dodge City, KS. (Sometime I would like time to do some site seeing around here!) SPC has issued a PDS (Particularly Dangerous Situation) tornado watch a little while ago.

    Conditions across this area are becoming increasingly potent for another major severe weather outbreak, complete with the possibility of long track, violent tornadoes well into the evening hours.  It’s going to be a long day.

    Dryline is still a couple counties west of here. I am going to grab some Arbys and get the hell out of Dodge (always wanted a valid reason to say that!) to the west a little I think.  LIVE ChaseCam should be active within the hour I think. I expect a long, busy day, so this may be the last chase update until the day is done…watch the cam to see what’s going on!

  • 05/23/08 Chase Forecast

    Tornadoes a good bet again in western KS today.  Setup very similar to yesterday, although storms may be a tad slower.  Expect SPC will again go with a high risk by mid-afternoon as details become concrete.  Long lived, violent tornadoes are possible.

    I am about to head out from Enid, OK for Dodge City, and will evaluate things more on the road and refine the target, although I am not sure it needs to be.  LIVE ChaseCam will again be active this afternoon/evening.
