BIG Storm Chase May 18 & Yesterday’s Burrito

Good morning Patrons,

Today has all the makings of historic tornado footage. Many of us already have butterflies in our stomachs. Over the last two decades i can recall numerous similar patterns that resulted in 2 or 3 dominant supercells producing tornadoes, but only one of them, for whatever reasons, produced the ones we remember today. Many times, I was not on that storm. A few times I was. Sometimes it was the northern storm, sometimes the middle, sometimes the southern. Good luck choosing the one! I’m currently targeting the southern end of the 15% risk outlined by the SPC. Of course the NAM Nest is resolving clusters there. For those living in the path today, have a plan for shelter and please heed the warnings.

YESTERDAY many of us were lucky enough to see the one tornado reported for the day near Paul’s Valley Oklahoma. It was enveloped in a thin wrap of rain making it very low contrast, however photoshop contrasting knows how to deal with such things.
