Chase today and tomorrow?

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Oct 11th, 2010 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

It’s not really impressive, but this is the simulated radar for this afternoon at 6 pm (or is that evening?).  This and the 4 km WRF model show limited convection in the area late today so I’ll be keeping an eye on radar in case I get the itch to …
