04/23/08 Storm Chase Update 1

David and I are currently heading slightly south and west of Brownfield to position ourselves south of the warm front and east of the dryline. With the interaction of the boundary, the increased clearing, and substantial heating, the atmosphere should become strongly unstable increasing the risk for an isolated tornado. Thus being one of the reasons for out departure away from the Mod risk area. That being said, any thing that goes up, should propagate NEward into the Mod risk.

Note: As i write this towers are becoming visible to our southwest

Also, the LIVE ChaseCAM is up and running for your enjoyment.
