A LOW PRESSURE AREA MOVING NORTHEAST OUT OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER
VALLEY...WILL COMBINE WITH AN UPPER LEVEL SYSTEM DROPPING INTO
THE CENTRAL PLAINS...OVER THE NEXT COUPLE DAYS. THIS COMBINATION
WILL BRING AN EXTENDED PERIOD OF SNOWFALL BEGINNING MONDAY
AFTERNOON...AND CONTINUING INTO TUESDAY EVENING. AS THE SYSTEM
LIFTS NORTHEAST AWAY FROM THE AREA...NORTHWEST WINDS WILL BECOME
GUSTY...CAUSING SIGNIFICANT BLOWING AND DRIFTING OF THE SNOW
STARTING TUESDAY AFTERNOON AND CONTINUING THROUGH TUESDAY NIGHT.
SNOWFALL TOTALS OF 5 TO 8 INCHES WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH THIS SYSTEM
DURING THE 36 TO 42 HOUR PERIOD FROM MONDAY AFTERNOON TO TUESDAY
NIGHT. THERE STILL REMAINS SOME UNCERTAINTY WITH THE LOCATION...TIMING
AND AMOUNTS OF THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL...SO THESE SNOWFALL TOTALS
MAY CHANGE BETWEEN NOW AND THE TIME THE SNOW STARTS.
RESIDENTS SHOULD MONITOR NOAA WEATHER RADIO FOR THE LATEST
INFORMATION...FORECASTS...AND WARNINGS ON THIS POTENTIAL WINTER
STORM. BE PREPARED TO TAKE ACTION IF A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY OR
WINTER STORM WARNING IS ISSUED IN THE FUTURE.
It’s officially 2010! One thing I’m doing for the new year is a project 365 to better my photography and just to keep myself occupied. You take a photograph EVERY DAY for a whole year and it documents your life(or betters your photography). I’m going to start a page under the ‘Stuff’ section and update it daily. Hope you all have an awesome year and bag a ton of amazing storms.
It finally stopped snowing not too long ago. During this whole time the roads have been a sad miserable mess. I’m not sure why but the city neglected to salt or plow Veterans Parkway(or any road) any more than they absolutely had to. Just measured a cumulative amount of 7″ give or take … yay fun snow … but really I can’t wait till this has all passed and it’s March again.
It does make for decent photography but when the roads are terrible you don’t feel like venturing very far.
Our roads are finally clear but I don’t feel like going out to see how the rest are.
As tornado potential skyrockets across the Missouri plains, Sean’s prized TIV2 breaks down mid-chase and is left on the sidelines. Meanwhile, Reed’s new data-gathering radar allows him to step up from aggressive chaser to extreme scientist, but his long-time chasing partner Joel quits to join another chase team. Undaunted, Reed keeps up the pace until finally he and Tim Samaras face off with a violent rain-wrapped tornado. Tim deploys probes and runs for his life, but Reed pushes close to the monster — through downed power-lines — to score the intercept of a lifetime.
IDA IS MOVING TOWARD THE NORTHWEST NEAR 6 MPH...9 KM/HR...AND A
TURN TO THE NORTH-NORTHWEST IS EXPECTED LATER TODAY...FOLLOWED BY A
TURN TOWARD THE NORTH LATE FRIDAY OR FRIDAY NIGHT. ON THE FORECAST
TRACK...THE CENTER OF IDA WILL MOVE ACROSS EASTERN NICARAGUA AND
EASTERN HONDURAS DURING THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS.
As Josh gets ready to head out with the VORTEX2 fleet, he hopes for a peaceful settlement of a radar dispute with Reed.
Even as tornadic supercells continue to tear across Texas, a frustrated Sean heads to Oklahoma for a reunion with his old chasing partner, Josh Wurman and the massive Vortex 2 research project. Reed sees a different opportunity: challenge Josh’s Doppler radar with his new military-grade mobile radar. The race for the holy grail of tornado data explodes as tempers flare, including an unhappy Joel who doesn’t care much for Reed’s new mission.
Hoping to get a day with some sun here soon so I can go out and do a fall photoshoot before all the leaves fall. It’s not looking too promising but hopefully …
"AT 500 PM EDT...2100 UTC...THE CENTER OF TROPICAL STORM ERIKA WAS
LOCATED NEAR LATITUDE 17.2 NORTH...LONGITUDE 57.3 WEST OR ABOUT 390
MILES...625 KM...EAST OF THE NORTHERN LEEWARD ISLANDS.
ERIKA IS MOVING TOWARD THE WEST-NORTHWEST NEAR 9 MPH...15 KM/HR...
AND THIS GENERAL MOTION IS EXPECTED TO CONTINUE FOR THE NEXT COUPLE
OF DAYS. ON THIS TRACK THE CENTER OF ERIKA IS EXPECTED TO REMAIN
TO THE NORTHEAST OF THE LEEWARD ISLANDS.
MAXIMUM SUSTAINED WINDS ARE NEAR 50 MPH...85 KM/HR...WITH HIGHER
GUSTS. SOME SLOW STRENGTHENING IS FORECAST DURING THE NEXT COUPLE

FOR THE NORTH ATLANTIC...CARIBBEAN SEA AND THE GULF OF MEXICO...
1. SHOWERS AND THUNDERSTORMS ASSOCIATED WITH A BROAD AREA OF LOW
PRESSURE LOCATED ABOUT 850 MILES EAST OF THE WINDWARD ISLANDS HAVE
DECREASED DURING THE LAST FEW HOURS. HOWEVER...ENVIRONMENTAL
CONDITIONS STILL APPEAR FAVORABLE FOR DEVELOPMENT...AND THIS SYSTEM
HAS THE POTENTIAL TO BECOME A TROPICAL DEPRESSION DURING THE NEXT
DAY OR SO AS IT MOVES WEST-NORTHWESTWARD AT AROUND 15 MPH. THERE IS
A HIGH CHANCE...GREATER THAN 50 PERCENT...OF TROPICAL CYCLONE
FORMATION IN THIS AREA DURING THE NEXT 48 HOURS. INTERESTS IN THE
LESSER ANTILLES SHOULD MONITOR THE PROGRESS OF THIS SYSTEM.
ELSEWHERE...TROPICAL CYCLONE FORMATION IS NOT EXPECTED DURING THE
NEXT 48 HOURS.
