As you may have noticed, this blog has been pretty devoid of updates for awhile. The reason for this is simple - I have been so busy chasing and now trying to catch up with life that I haven't had the time to post updates.
I still have chase accounts to post for 8 chase days, some of them pretty significant chase days (May 10 & May 22) along with hours of video to edit and post.
I returned home from my South Dakota chase on Tuesday, and have been working each day since then and catching up on sleep. Frankly, I am kind of burned out at the moment on storm chasing, and welcome the week or so 'off' that I've had (although there's still been Tornadoes almost every day since then).
So far in 2010 I've seen 18 tornadoes, many of them photogenic. I've had 5 tornado days and some other great storm chase days. I've travelled over 16,000 miles and it's still May!
Looking at the GFS, it appears we could have some local chases coming up in the next week, but nothing stands out and screams at me 'severe weather outbreak'. This is fine with me, as it'll give me a time to get things regrouped.
We are still awaiting our first real severe weather day here in Michigan. Usually June is good to us with a couple severe weather events, so we'll see. The heat and humidity we lacked last year has been here this year. Now we just need a well timed system to come through and kick off a good severe weather event.
