The MCS that swept through West Virginia and Kentucky yesterday also threw out a thick overcast in our direction that suppressed any potential convection, so yet another possible June storm chase was quashed. Normally June is a very productive chase month here in Virginia with me scrambling to find the time to review photos and video from the last chase before setting out on the next one. However this year's unusually early summer pattern has severely restricted productive June chasing both here and in most of the standard chase territory in the Plains. Hopefully that will change a bit for us starting Friday as a stationary front sets up in the Mid-Atlantic and provides a trigger for convection for a few days.
In other news the proposed Virginia Tech Meteorology program is receiving more attention now that it has only one more wicket to pass through before it becomes official. This article on the VT website provides some more perspective as to the benefits such a program will bring to the citizens of Virginia.
