Good Chase Today in South-Central Virginia
Today, Mark Ellinwood and myself once again ventured out to chase some Regional/local storm possibilities in the Mid-Atlantic. Today it was central and south-central Virginia. About my third time in the area and Mark’s first the chase went pretty well. We did not make [...]

Weak Storm helped me get in the mood for tomorrow.
Some pulse type storms came through today. Decent when the line of storms form to the west in the far western Maryland, southeastern Pennsylvania and adjoining counties in West Virginia, but diminished after crossing the Potomac River and entering Montgomery [...]

A summary of yesterday’s local storm chase.
A short chase/intercept with (I believe) less than 100 miles driven. The most interesting part….actually having a chaser convergence in Maryland.
WHAT? Yup, Bill Hark and myself happen to run into each other in Maryland, west of Frederick, Maryland after following some [...]

Not a tornado people!
Neither is this!
Kinda looks like palm trees…but they are baby walnut trees.
This is a sample of the hail that I reported to NWS at quartersize.

Rescue works, red cross, and more in the devastated town of Yazoo City, Mississippi.
The town is now in recovery and rebuilding mode as the main storm threat is over. All kinds of government and civilian assistance organizations are on scene helping the many residents affected by this 1/2 [...]

While I’m not going to complain, I will make the following observation:
This year so far, any severe weather hopes have not played out. We have had rain and a few strikes of lightning with some thunder. Overall though we have not seen any severe weather, or photogenic [...]

Well, the long string of warms days are done…for now.
I haven’t been spending too much time in the home office since I have been taking full advantage of the absolutely exquisitely warm weather and sunny skies. For all but maybe a few hours here and there, we’ve had [...]

Almost no rain today…warm weather tomorrow and into the weekend.
Starting tomorrow, I’ll be taking advantage of the increasing warmer weather. Tomorrow I’ll be trying for the first time geocaching while streaming live video. This is a test run, with the Laptop stored away where I cannot monitor [...]
