    Greetings Gee. We're also on the 14:40 (Friday) LHR to DEN (Iberia (via BA) flight 7407). But I've got it as leaving from Terminal 3 - that the same flight?

    PS We're staying at the Hyatt House, which I think is just across the way from the pick-up hotel.

    PPS thanks for the kit list heads-up. I think we had most of that stuff already but some useful suggestions for additional things.

    I stand corrected!  it is T3!  Well it would be rude not to have a pre flight beer at the airport!

     

    ill be flying in from Manchester that morning!

    Hi all, fellow Tour 4 member here. I’m Pete, and I’ll be accompanying my brother, Chris, who’s been wanting to do a Storm Chasing holiday for about 20 years and now has the time and money to do it. 

    PS Trying to upload a profile pic but website failing me. Probably just as well - some of you may have just had your lunch.

    looking forward to seeing some weather.

    Morning Pete!  I wouldnt worry too much about a profile pic!!

     

    What are your flight details?  I was hoping to meet with people at LHR T5 if they are flying on or around the same time as me!  I am on the 14:40 LHR - DEN BA flight.

    if you havent already, i made a kit list in the forum, worth a read!

    Hi all, getting very close now, watching the live streams, msg boards and following Paul B’s Facebook pictures and forwarded messages, some amazing storms so far.

    Seems i’m living on the edge and am flying out on the 8th from Heathrow on the 14.45 to Denver.

    Do have a question, been trawling but haven’t seen anything on other boards around lightning triggers, anyone got recommendation for a Canon 7d, don’t want to spend a fortune, but don’t want a duffer either, ideally renting a good quality one would be a best option, can’t imagine it would have too many uses back in Essex afterwards.

    hi mate

    Lightning triggers can be good, MR Finney bought one for a season and ended up binning it as it was rubbish! BUT he does have one now, this one - https://tinyurl.com/y6382jq9 

    Living on the edge? 8th June? yeah probably, 7th would have been better for two reason 1) i am on the same flight! 2) it gives us chance to maybe get an extra day of chasing or at least get us in position depending on the models..worth a conversation to go a day before?

     

    anyhoo!  ill be Doghouse driver for T4, also known as the party car!

    Tour 4 charts are appearing at the furthest end of the model runs! I know we cannot take them for granted but it does show some signs of active weather (yey!)

    SKEW-T chart for the middle of OK which is showing 83 / 73 spreads at 6pm is surely exciting to read but we have to control our excitement!

    CAPE and all the other ingredients are showing good signs!

    I fly in on June 7th from LHR 14:40 flight!

    Confusing out there! seems to be some convective inhibition across SW Oklahoma and no moisture convergence going on, so as per the spc's update, might not be discreet cells firing up east of the main line. At the moment this doesn't feel like a historic outbreak as storm modes don't to me look like playing ball, but its early days so we'll see! 

    kind of agree,
