August certainly didn't provide much chasing potential, and now that we're into meteorological fall (begins Sept 1st) the outlook for chaseable storms definitely dims unless a tropical system gets into the act. However there are usually a few chances between now and Veterans' Day as stronger cold fronts begin to swoop down through the Mid-Atlantic. It's all in the timing: will the storms occur during daylight hours to maximize the solar heating effects and will I be available to chase on any given day?
I have already surrendered a major chasing artifact of this season in that I returned the USB-powered cellular modem to Millenicom, the one I've been renting by the month since late April. That device turned out to be quite handy in locating, tracking, and intercepting storms so I'll likely re-engage the same service next spring. No long-term contract and the same monthly price as signing up with the major cellular carriers...it's a pretty good deal!
