Welcome To The Netweather USA Storm Chase Group

[Paul Sherman]

Called XM radio today. Sadly they were not willing to waive the activation fee and were not willing to allow me to pay for my usage fee upfront? Blimey Paul did you flutter your eyelids at them or something?

LOL

What I meant was pay for your Months Subs on the 8th May for 1 Months Usage, that way you are covered until you return Eg Run it from 8th May until 8th June 2009

We have paid for the 2nd April until the 2nd June making sure we get the 2 Months Subs In our allocated 35 Days, As our 1st Chase day is 27th April we did not want it running out on the 27th May when we would still have 4 days of Chasing Left

I am surprised they said you could not pay though, what Company would NOT Want to take a payment.

I think you should be worried mate, a few members posts have stated as that they are worried you're going to abandon them in a field. at this rate you will end up with a reputation

Take no notice of the above picture...The guy who put the data in was obviously drunk

Though saying that the trend is certainly picking up again...

Just been checking out the baggage allowance for the AA which is as follows

40 lbs/18 kgs. (carry-on)

45 in/114 cm (carry-on)

62 in/157 cm (checked)

50lbs/23kg (checked)

also checked the seating availability......

at present the flight is about 75% full with all window seats gone

lol........I thought this cant be right at the time............but it was up there for quite a while so I asumed this was correct.....

I thought maybe someone might of thought I did it in photoshop.

but Im innocent

[Paul Sherman]

Absolutely Tipping it down over the Action Areas last night which is very good news for the drought and Moisture Situation!! Oklahoma has been affected by Wildfires over the last few days and these MCS Systems should help that, also the Texas Panhandle has had quite a bit of rain overnight, all good to get things looking green and for Moisture when it returns from the Gulf to be of the Rich Variety and be transported easily.

Hope you have also noticed that the Outbreak days are getting closer together now as well as we progress through April, More Risks today, tomorrow and then again next week is looking lively again on the Models!

Paul S

[dogs32]

Just for a bit of Fun and knowing the Models will change massively, thought I would have a quick look out to 364 (27th April) our 1st Chase day! Not looking to bad and a possible Chase "Would" be in the offing

- Temp of around 30c 86f

- Good Moisture of around 64f

- GFS Showing some Possible Storms in Oklahoma and into Kansas

- Broadly around 1500jkg of Cape

The Flow is quite strong and from the SW As well.

Will try to Update these over the next week and see if any trends appear, but this is just for fun at 14 days out

Okay Another Look at our possible 1st Chase Day on Monday (Tues 00z)

It is looking very Good! And Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday look Possible as well going on Model Outputs

Just Some Charts as we are now within T288

- Just 3,000 to 4,000jkg of Cape :lol:

- Precip Charts

- Moisture with 20c Dewpoints and Sharp Dryline

- Temperatures in the High 80's

- Nice Jet Stream which if you run it to T312 Has a Huge Jet Streak Coming over the SW Of Kansas

All still looking favourable but obviously subject to Change!

Chase Day 2 - Tuesday

- Insane Cape

- Big Jet Streak!

- Moisture in Abundance!

Hehehe

Paul S

[dogs32]

Paul would you go where the highest CAPE is on that day or not so....

PERFECT for us now

[Paul Sherman]

Would have to wait for 2-3 days before hand to see where any Low Pressure / Dryline or what the Set-Up would be to be honest, the good thing is the trend at the moment which is showing SE Surface winds, Abundance of Moisture, good Temps, and a favourable overhead Jet Stream.

Just trying to spot trends at the moment and this has been showing for about 4-5 days now.
