Watching The Weekend, Could Be Interesting

We could be in for a wild start to our weekend. With CAPE values between 1000-2500j/kg and Helicity values high enough to rotate support rotating updrafts it could be interesting. While it does look that the worst of the weather will start over in Mississippi and it does look like it will be real bad over there we will have to wait and see just how unstable we become here in Alabama as the day goes on. As far as the TVST chase team we will decide by Friday morning just where we will target during the day Saturday. Below is some of the latest Model runs valid for 7pm on Saturday night. Stay tuned for updates.

  1. Yikes . . . well, have fun chasing and be safe . . . I'll be watching the sky and the radar at the same time until the hail gets large enough to knock a hole in my head, most likely. Haha - but I'm a "stationary spotter." (wink)
