  4. Just ordered a Boltek stormtracker from america, worked out at around £350 thats with Lightning 2000 software and Continental maps. :rolleyes: Bet it will take along time to get here though.

    good move CB seems a good tracker you orderd it tday im sure you will get it within 2 weeks just in time for the summer storms :(

  5. hiya you lot hope you have had a good day tday but looking at things so far tnite not much in the way of real storms maybe a little quiet for you?

    there has been such a change in the jet stream that has prob caused no activity tday but saturday looks to ok so far for northern texas hope you are safe take care :rolleyes:

    stevestorms

    hope the BBQ was decent enough have a safe day and hope you as the net weather team have a safe trip

  6. hiya roger is that set up due to this i was reading earlier?

    Major Spring Storm coming to Ontario

    Monday, May 08, 2006

    All the pieces are now coming together for a major spring storm across Ontario later this week......

    Piece 1. Pacific energy diving southeast into the southern U.S. plains

    by Tuesday night.

    Piece 2. Western Canada energy diving southeast into the northern U.S. plains by Wednesday.

    Piece 3. A building, block of high pressure Wednesday stretching from Labrador to Greenland.

    What does all of this mean?

    The two pieces of energy will come together later Wednesday and develop a storm over the Ohio Valley. The storm will rapidly intensify Wednesday night. The block farther to the northeast will slow the forward speed of the storm, then cause it to stall across the Great Lakes region through Friday.

    The result: A widespread, beneficial rainfall for a large part of Ontario. The heaviest rain will be from Wednesday night into Thursday evening. Lighter, more intermittent rain then Thursday night and into Friday.

    Thunderstorms? Certainly a possibility across southwestern Ontario Wednesday evening then again Thursday afternoon. I think the severe storms will remain down across Ohio and western Pennsylvania. Cloud cover and a southeasterly wind flow will likely limit the amount of instability for severe weather across southwestern Ontario.

  7. hiya you guys hope tday is thus far proveing to be decent

    CONCERNING...SEVERE THUNDERSTORM POTENTIAL

    VALID 082040Z - 082245Z

    SEVERE THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT WILL BECOME INCREASINGLY LIKELY LATE

    THIS AFTERNOON ACROSS WRN AND CNTRL KS. A THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND

    WIND DAMAGE WILL ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER STORMS. AN ISOLATED TORNADO

    THREAT MAY ALSO DEVELOP AS STORMS MATURE BY EARLY EVENING. A WW MAY

    BECOME NECESSARY WITHIN THE NEXT 1 TO 2 HOURS.

    SFC ANALYSIS CURRENTLY SHOWS A MOIST AXIS EXTENDING NWD FROM NRN OK

    ACROSS CNTRL KS WHERE DEWPOINTS ARE IN THE LOWER TO MID 60S F. THIS

    IS RESULTING IN MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY ALONG THE MOIST AXIS

    WHERE MLCAPE VALUES RANGE FROM 2000 TO 3000 J/KG. A CAPPING

    INVERSION IS CURRENTLY IN PLACE BUT FORECAST SOUNDINGS SUGGEST THE

    CAP WILL WEAKEN OVER THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS. AS A RESULT...SFC-BASED

    CONVECTIVE INITIATION APPEARS INCREASINGLY LIKELY ALONG AN EAST TO

    WEST BOUNDARY JUST NORTH OF I-70 IN NCNTRL KS EVIDENT ON VISIBLE

    SATELLITE IMAGERY. REGIONAL PROFILERS SHOW MODERATE VERTICAL SHEAR

    PROFILES IN PLACE WHICH COMBINED WITH STEEP MID-LEVEL LAPSE RATES

    SHOULD BE FAVORABLE FOR SUPERCELLS WITH LARGE HAIL. AN ISOLATED

    TORNADO/WIND DAMAGE THREAT MAY ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STRONGER

    SUPERCELLS ESPECIALLY AS LOW-LEVEL FLOW INCREASES EARLY THIS

    EVENING.

Currently Sat about 12 Miles South of Amarillo (Yes the road is on the way to Amarillo) :p:D Watching a few cells just to our North West and Steve is in Dalhart on the Stom above ours :D We have Pm'd his team and it looks like we could end up in the Big Texan Tonight for a good session :D:D And i think we will be in convoy tomorrow to Kansas, these storms are doing absolutely nothing today, in fact i have seen worse in England during the winter, see USA Gets rubbish showers as well. Still we will sit this out for a few more hours.

  10. Hi all, started late in Norman after getting the Baron up and running chased a cell from early development near Aberlene Tx all afternoon and evening got some 2" hail maybe bigger trees shreaded cars damaged but we managed to stop shorty of being hit :-) our cell produced a promising lowering from a decent base at one time but then decided it was going to reform and structure its self in a different place which then put us out of position we chased this storm till 2100hrs where there were several repots of Tornados but we didnt get to see one I guess they were after dark??? we are crashed out in Cisco on the i20 at the Best western NOT RECOMMENDED as they have charged us $97 for one small double!!!! Im not impressed, anyway atm looks like SE TX for us tomorrow.

    CHEERS, Steve.
