5/7 - 6:30pm - Getting Rained On!

I was just outside a few moments ago when I heard a roar in the woods. It kept getting closer and closer to the house until I finally got drenched. The rain is moving in fast and it'll be in here for quite some time.

Tomorrow's rain will be primarily in the afternoon and Friday's will be early in the day. We get a break until Saturday night when rain chances shoot up again. No big severe problems around here with these storms coming through, but areas south and west of the area will get pounded.

Tornado warnings are out for a couple counties near Oklahoma City right now. That threat will shift east tomorrow with what looks like a lesser intensity. I'm monitoring this in hopes that this pattern of severe weather holds up until after my storm chasing trip is over. It's kind of an ironic wish because tornadoes and storms are good for studying and taking pictures of, but they can wreak havoc on homes, businesses, and lives. Let's hope all the tornadoes this week happen in empty fields.

Only 17 days left!
