The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
-Psalm 19:1

Do you know that God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?

A little SDS Therapy for the Midwest before Hybernation sets in...

Well, with a historic turn out and President-Elect Obama earning more votes than any other candidate in history, people are recovering from varying emotions. I have resigned myself to putting my prayers behind the man who was elected. He is not there accidentally. Of course, the leading stories at TWC were Marshall Seese's retirement and Barack's position on the climate?! Good grief.

OK, OK, enough about that. My blog is starting to look entirely too political!!! Back to weather...
...that area in the western Caribbean near Cape Thanks to God... I mean Cabo Gracios a Dios... has got, now a high probability of development and is expected to at least be designated as a Tropical Depression within the next couple of days. Recon flight is standing by...

Aside from that, check it out folks... we now have a moderate risk area outlined for the midwest. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think this might be the first of the secondary season.

AREA WILL BE UPGRADED TO A MODERATE RISK AT 1630Z.

12Z MODEL DATA ARE CONSISTENT WITH 00Z HIGH RESOLUTION DATA SETS IN SUGGESTING THAT THE MOST INTENSE TSTM DEVELOPMENT WILL LIKELY OCCUR OVER S-CNTRL/SERN KS INTO N-CNTRL/NERN OK LATER THIS AFTERNOON INTO TONIGHT. THIS STORM ACTIVITY WILL BE FOCUSED FROM NEAR THE TRIPLE POINT OF COLD FRONT/DRYLINE SWD WHERE STORM MODE IS EXPECTED TO BE MORE DISCRETE IN NATURE. THE COMBINATION OF MODERATE INSTABILITY AND RATHER STRONG LOW-LEVEL SHEAR SUGGESTS THE POTENTIAL FOR LONGER-LIVED SUPERCELLS CAPABLE OF A STRONG TORNADO OR TWO.
My friend, Oklahoma Steve is planning to go out for some SDS therapy before the long winter months. Best wishes to Steve and all the other chasers going after a much more charged event than originally expected. The outlook for today with the Storm Prediction Center has not been updated today, but you can click on the link to check it out once it has been.That said, it's time for the new list of

  2. Marshall Seese, how old? (Wow, how am I getting hits for this guy before today???)
  3. Can't wait to move to Georgia (Must be all the great weather... NOT!)
  4. Tornado vs. hurricane vs. twister (A tornado and a twister are the same... a hurricane is a huge broad area of circulation, only visible as such in satellite images... can be about 300 times the size of a tornado or twister.)
  5. Sky Diving Wedding Georgia Mountains (Are you NUTS?! Who skydives in the mountains?!)
  6. Quest for gtb (Dearest gtb, don't arrange for a skydiving wedding... that is not your quest!)
  7. My life as a storm chaser (Storm chaser life rocks!)

  9. Georgia Tornado Chasers (Is that a club? I want to join!!)
  10. Dangerous chasers of the world(Wait for it....)
  11. Storm chaser fatalities (yikes...)
  12. How does dew looks in autumn weather (Well, pretty bundled up. I am not a big fan of cold, so I layer a lot. I don't want to risk turning into a dewdropcicle... or heaven forbid... FROST... EEK!)
There you have it... people never cease (not Seese) to amaze me.Have a lovely autumn dew day...

  1. As the potential of severe thunderstorms loom, I am anxious for the cooler air and potential snow that will finally make it's way into town. I am hoping for some chilly weather for our visitors from St. Louis, MO this weekend and early next week. Granted as the LOW moves on through temps down there will be chilly as well but mainly 10° warmer then here. :)

    Come on Winter, it's been too long, I've missed you.
