Chaser circus

The Hokie Stormchase team learned first hand yesterday how crazy Oklahoma storm chasing can be these days.  They were part of a veritable circus of chasers out for the SPC High Risk and PDS (potentially dangerous situation) tornado watch issued for yesterday.  Hopefully the circus will spread out a bit more and the Hokies can get clearer views of the action.  (That's one of the benefits of chasing here in Northern Virginia:  not much competition.)
As for here it looks like we'll see a few scattered storms Saturday and more on Sunday, followed by several days of decent weather.  Toward Memorial Day weekend the models are leaning toward more storms, which would be good for me for chasing purposes...but nothing like yesterday's circus in OK.
