Rainy & Chilly… Chase Account

Yesterday featured some very rainy and fairly chilly conditions across the state, if it wasn’t raining you were under some very thick cloudcover which kept temperatures down quite a bit. Highs ranging in the 60s for the most part, with a decent rain coming down it definately seemed like a fall/spring day and not a late summer one. Temperatures have gotten at least mild today, rising into the 70s for the most part although some early morning showers were around. Another risk of thunderstorms come into the forecast this afternoon and then the rest of the week dry until the weekend. Temperatures should be in the 70s to 80s across the state until the weekend, where some cloudcover/shower/thunderstorms may keep them down in localized areas then. Right now the severe potential with the system this weekend looks low, so nothing to speak of there.

Yesterday evening I finally got the complete write-up on the website for last Thursday’s chase account. Only images up so far are some radar images that I have received, otherwise vidcaps are still on their way, most likely not up until this weekend or early next week unfortunately. I’ll try and get my GPS log map up there as well with an overlay of the tornado path to show you exactly what we were looking at, one of the first very detailed chase accounts that I’m doing. It’ll take some time, but eventually it will be up. So keep looking forward to add-ons, etc…
