Archives for February 25, 2008

February is not yet over, and I”ve already got two storm chases under my belt for 2008. If what the GFS seems to be hinting at for Sunday holds together, you can make that three chases, which will put me at an average of one chase a month–for this winter!\r\n\r\nRight now is too far out to do much more than hope, but it”s nice to have a reason to hope so early in the year. The GFS is whispering sweet promises of CAPE, moisture, a deepening surface low, and adequate upper-level support, all conspiring to make March 2 an interesting day.\r\n\r\nNow it”s a waiting game. Will this system hold together or fall apart? Will it tease or fulfill?\r\n\r\nAh, me. Weather is a woman.\r\n\r\nUnpredictable, moody, catty, sometimes ugly, sometimes beautiful.\r\n\r\nAlways fascinating, well worth pursuing, well worth loving.\r\n\r\nI wonder if I”ll have a hot date with her this Sunday.
