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?
-Job 37:15

Upcoming tornado watch

This is half an hour old, but the SPC has issued MCD#82, indicating that a tornado watch will likely be needed soon.

SUPERCELL STORM DEVELOPMENT IS EXPECTED IN THE NEXT 1-2 HOURS FROM S CENTRAL OKLAHOMA SWWD INTO PARTS OF CENTRAL TX. RESULTING SEVERE THREAT -- INCLUDING THE POTENTIAL FOR TORNADOES -- WILL REQUIRE TORNADO WATCH ISSUANCE.

STORMS INITIATING INVOF THE DRYLINE ARE EXPECTED TO BECOME RAPIDLY SUPERCELLULAR. ONCE THIS OCCURS...THREAT FOR LARGE HAIL AND LOCALLY-DAMAGING WINDS WILL EXIST -- ALONG WITH ISOLATED TORNADOES. THE THREAT SHOULD INCREASE WITH TIME THROUGH THE AFTERNOON...AS AN INCREASINGLY-FAVORABLE ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTS AN EXPANSION IN STORM COVERAGE WITH TIME.
It's show time!

South Central GA Severe Thunderstorm Watch coming right up!!!

Well, the SPC just issued a meso discussion that places me right in the middle of an upcoming severe thunderstorm watch. It looks like the dynamics are lining up for a DYNAMIC afternoon. The fog has dissipated almost completely, and the sky is actually showing some breaks allowing for the heating to break through.

ISOLATED TORNADOES WILL STILL BE POSSIBLE...ESPECIALLY NEAR THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHERE BACKED SURFACE FLOW WILL BE MORE SUPPORTIVE OF ROTATING UPDRAFTS. EXPECT THE STRONGEST ACTIVITY TO BE NEAR AND SOUTH OF THE WARM FRONTAL BOUNDARY WHERE INSTABILITY WILL BE MOST FAVORABLE.
Strong wording... stay tuned!

12:35 Update: Oops, there it is!

This is a picture of where bf is right now in mesocyclone world. Yep, chasing without me...

Update 2:00: I am about to leave here and chase... hopefully.I am trying to talk Meso Mike into chasing with me...
