I'm in Valentine with no Cingular signal. Cingular is spectacularly bad in most areas of Tornado Alley. Depending on how much you like getting calls during chase season, this is either a blessing or a curse...lol. But there's WiFi everywhere!
I agree with Glen that leaving Valentine attm is hard to do. I'll paste an email I sent to a friend a moment ago:
"hmm...this cu field is developing fast from here to the east, as is
the one near Murdo. One thing I don't like about the I-90 target is
how the 850 trough backs the flow up there and seems to eliminate much
low level shear, given southeasterly sfc flow into the western sfc
low. The 0-1k shear is pretty marginal there while the model shows a
strong southerly low level jet over extreme north central and
northeastern Nebraska at 0z, above backed flow ahead of the dryline
bulge and beneath an h5 speed max at 0z.
I know I'm seeing too much of yesterday in today and they are
different setups. A dangerous bias for a forecaster, but the RUC
gives me some doubts about how things will play out. The 15z shows
the same pressure fields setting up as the 12z did.
What to do, what to do. Time for a chicken bacon wrap from Subway I
think! LOL."

BTW - does anybody know the cellphone coverage situation up in northern NE or southern SD for Cingular??? From the way things are going this year so far, I'm guessting it's non-existant......
