June 10 TWISTEX Update

Status: Awaiting Deployment
Location: Terril, IA


Just a quick update as I have little time to spare currently. Arrived back at home on Friday evening, been spending time here now as we have had a couple days off. Tomorrow looks good for severe weather, with isolated tornadoes possible, however the best threat is into western North Dakota. This means a very long drive to reach a target area from Ames, over 10 hours, plus the road networks aren't known to be the best. This means that we will not be deploying for a target tomorrow in ND...

We may be deploying for Tuesday/Wednesday in the northern plains, decision on when/where the target has not been made. Tomorrows' update will have more details on the possible deployment for Tuesday, along with subsequent days.
