Okay, maybe one more post before I leave to go stormchasing. In the weather pattern we’re currently under (the term “yucky” comes to mind often) the winds are out of the east / northeast, as evidenced by the low clouds coming from that compass quadran…



Thursday, part two

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • May 5th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Right now I’m waffling about Thursday’s target area. The models are showing both insane amounts of convective potential (CAPE > 4000) offset by strong capping (caused by warm air aloft) in southern OK and northern TX. The SPC Day 3 discussion mention…

Daily Press:
Democratic Gov. Timothy M. Kaine was visibly angry after lawmakers turned down the cash. The issue appears to be a big factor on the campaign trail as Democratic activists spent Sunday canvassing in precincts of Peninsula Republicans who voted against accepting the money.

Ferry Test

By From http://blog.mikemorones.com • May 5th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I got up obscenely early this morning to ride aboard a ferry as part of a test run to see how ferry service would work. I and transportation reporter Kelly Hannon got on board the Providence III in Occoquan and went up to several locations in and around DC. Since it was just a test […]
