5/14 - 6:30pm - Scattered Storms Tomorrow

A few scattered storms will make the rounds around the Louisville area tomorrow, but nothing severe is on the table it looks like. Heavier and more widespread precipitation will be here on Saturday afternoon, lasting until just after midnight according to the GFS and NAM models. The rest of the weekend and most of next week will be cooler, but not a drop of rain will be in sight.

This was posted over on John Belski's blog, but it bears a reposting here. Take a look at this video of a tornado in Kirksville, MO yesterday evening:



I was watching some live video streams from that area yesterday, but I didn't see anything nearly this dramatic. This tornado destroyed 10 homes and damaged 60 buildings, killing two people in the process. Severe weather could fire up again in the same area on Saturday. Let's hope we don't get that close during my two weeks of chasing coming up.

23 days until storm chasing begins!
