Possible Chase Jan 8 (Elvis & Bowie’s Bday)
Added 2024-01-07 23:46:40 +0000 UTC
SPC is going bold with a 10% Sig-Tor in LA and beyond tomorrow. To chase, I’ll need to see surface temperatures warming more than what the models are currently projecting… something the SPC suggested is plausible.

Above the HRRR has temps barely hitting 70. Cloudy, rainy, goobliglosh (like below) in the warm sector would highly discourage chasing.

Let’s discuss changing conditions in this thread and decide if we should chase or knock out chores.
PRODUCTIVITY DOWN THE ROAD
Though tomorrow is Elvis Presley and David Bowie’s birthday, we celebrated it last night at the 15th annual BowiElvis Fest here in Houston. In 2 weeks I have two new original songs due for mixing and mastering. Lots of new tunes on the way.

In early February it appears I’ll be making an appearance with filmmaker Jamie Winterstern at the Storm Chasing Summit in Dallas. No idea what I’m gonna talk about. Need to get on that.
I’m hoping to free up more time to edit Scott Currens and my trip to Argentina. So much fun.
Lots and lots of duties, obligations and chores to sweep off the list before tornado season. It’s gonna be here fast. Get ready gang!
Any luck?

The NYT predicts possible tornadoes in Missouri City tomorrow. My strategy of waiting in the driveway is about to pay off. Do you think it's credible?

Was hoping you might be north around Montgomery or New Waverly or Livingston

Still sitting in Houston monitoring trends (recording piano). I'm likely not investing a lot of miles in this event. Perhaps zero. Currently paying extra close attention to the thinner cloud coverage SE of Houston attm (At the moment). The WindBreaker is loaded up just in case something things look more tornadoughy in the next couple hours.

I'm supposed to be flying out of IAH today at 6pm and I have a suspicion those plans are going to go awry... Fascinated how this is going to break for Houston, still cool and cloudy right now

That’s appears mostly after dark. Dangerous situation. Often these January set ups flop. Let’s hope that’s the case tonight.,

Today is also my wife's birthday. Never hear the end of her saying "I share the same birthday as Elvis Presley." I don't want to tell her she also shares it with David Bowie, although I don't think she knows who he is.

Go on the Chase, keep it relaxing. Maybe you have the best Idea on the Road. But foremost, Talk about what you do, life in the RAV on the Road Meeting Friends and Green Ghosts your recent mention in Science Papers. Big win you can Talk about. And others who has discovered them. Anyway Happy Trails Hank. I also Take a Long Break now .... Exhausted , because of a Week of Stuff.... But the Break will Help.

Seems like they’re banking more on a Mobile area to FL Panhandle performance

Happy happy trails Hank! This is all great news. Too bad I missed ya on the stage. Hopefully you can stream a live session again some day with Jo Bird the Fiddle Witch. 😁 It snowed a wee bit here in SE PA. Turned to rain and made everything slushy. Today looks like the snow never happened.... Did I dream it??

I’m not chasing, but if I was, based on the current models, I would target the town of Atmore, AL. We’ll see if it verifies! Good luck to anyone who is chasing. (Gonna be messy)
