Today's setup is quite complex, so the decision for our target area was not an easy one. An area of storms in the Texas Panhandle could send a cloud shield into SE Kansas this afternoon, so we looked into other areas. Colorado will have some up slope thunderstorms today, but winds are not strong enough for rotating storms. Going south of the area of storms in Texas was another option, but that doesn't look too good and traveling that far would put us far away from tomorrow's target area.
So SE Kansas it is. We think we may be able to sneak down to the KS/OK border and catch cells that fire before the cloud shield from Texas reaches them. As of right now, the area looks good with clear skies, decent shear, and pretty good instability. As long as we can keep the clouds away, we're in good shape!
Will anything exciting happen today like yesterday? I really hope so because I like being able to post good video on YouTube in the evenings, especially when Good Morning America picks it up!
As always, Twitter and Facebook will be active today. I noticed a few of you had issues with the live video stream yesterday and that was because we lost our internet connection a couple of times. I'll post on here when the video feed is active, and if it doesn't work give it ten minutes and try again in case we lose our connection. When we're finished streaming for the day, I'll put out an update on Twitter and Facebook.
