To chase, or not to chase....don't think so!


Given the cold pool of air overhead the SPC has us in a 5% "See Text" severe weather area, but I'm not planning to go any further than to walk out the door and snap a photo or two. The radar is showing a line of showers approaching the vicinity, but none are exhibiting enough interesting characteristics to coax me back into the car. The upper level shortwave causing this activity is still well to the west and isn't supposed to reach the Blue Ridge until near sundown, at which time the existing showers will probably lose their "ooomph" (that's not an official term). So, maybe we'll get a sniff of lightning and thunder out of this, but nothing like yesterday's storms. I'll post another photo or two from that event later this evening.
