Hang on Atlanta! Word is hail is falling at Turner Field where the Braves are (supposed to be) playing.



Impending Atlanta tornado?

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Apr 10th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

Downtown Atlanta is getting ready to be pounded by a strong supercell with indicated rotation. Look at the two blue circles in the above doppler screen shot where the green and white pixels are adjacent to the browns and reds. This is very strong rot…



First SPC High Risk of the spring

Stormchasers live for such days, but the rest of the population needs to keep an eye on the sky and an ear to the weather radio. This could be a setup for strong long-track tornadoes in the Deep South. Don’t think we’ll get anything around here durin…



Thunderstorms possible tomorrow

Looks like any severe weather in Virginia tomorrow will be well south of us, but we still might get some thunderstorms here in the area as the models show a slight bit of instability. A low pressure center is forecast to pass almost overhead tomorrow…



No chase…but a cold front approacheth

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Apr 6th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The heavy activity today got started mid-morning and was way off to our southeast, so I didn’t get out for a chase even tho’ a tornado watch was posted not far away. These early spring systems can be very inconvenient for chasing as they tend to come …

Monday…another Northern Neck chase?

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Apr 4th, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

The models seem to be forecasting Monday to be a repeat of Friday, with a front plowing through the I-95 corridor early in the day and a chance for severe weather east of the interstate during the early afternoon. The top graphic shows the surface de…



Last-minute Northern Neck chase

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Apr 3rd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I knew an occluded front was due through the area early today, so I took my chase gear with me this morning. Even tho’ I had a radar display updating on my computer I lost track of time and thus had to quickly dash out at 1130 (see radar view above) …



Where’s the sun?

By From http://stormsrus.blogspot.com/ • Apr 2nd, 2009 • Category: Blog Entries.Local

I left Virginia for the Florida panhandle this week for a business trip in hopes that I would see some warmer sunnier weather. Alas, such was not to be as that area of the “Sunshine State” was socked in with low ceilings, cool temperatures, and rain …
