Hi all, for those of you around the eastern nebraska area, a few things to do include...

Stratigic Air and space Museum near Ashland, NE
Omaha Zoo
Lincoln is holding the Hot Rod Super Nationals on May 29th-31st for anyone intrested


im sure there are many others around these parts, just cant think of them right now...

Two words: national parks! A couple of years ago we went to Yellowstone, we have been to many others (and national monuments, historic sites, wildlife refuges etc.) during down periods. If this pattern does not turn around by June, this is what we plan to do.

this says it all: NO REPORTS RECEIVED

also this isn't something you like to see,

http://www.spc.noaa.gov/products/exper/day4-8/day48prob.gif

normally if there is no potential days outlined, it says PREDICTABILITY TOO LOW, due to model disagreement. however, right now instead it says POTENTIAL TOO LOW

how depressing, and the latest 384 hour gfs doesn't look any better all the way to the end

Finally get around to working on stock images! If it were not for the ridge I don't know when I would have made time to get this done.

If the pattern keeps up, I might actually finish the other two categories of that site (WV photos and storm photos).

Come out to the NM, CO, AZ area. In the absence of the usual May activity in the Plains and Midwest, the recent weather pattern in the Southwest has at least offered a few interesting weather observation opportunities - and the storms, even if rarely supercellular, are often photogenic. While not a true monsoon, the moisture sources from the GOM and Pacific have been similar to those of the late-summer monsoon, and there have been storms nearly every afternoon and/or evening. I've put together some Web pages on the activity over NM around the Memorial Day weekend. You can view them at:

This includes the 5/23 report I previously posted, but also a good lightning display on 5/24 and some rather photogenic high-based convection on 5/21. I am feeling a LITTLE less storm-deprived since I got to NM a week ago today.

I recently discovered geocaching. Great free fun for out on the road if you have a GPS. www.geocaching.com

I'm continuing being a nerd. I just started a summary of some tornadoes in OK that occurred April 25, 1893...the first time Norman and Moore got hit and I'm waiting for NCDC to release the tornado data for February so I can finish that database. I shot some stills of the anvil from the storm near DFW tonight (yep, clearly visible in Norman), and I'm trying to figure out how to download music into my kid's iPod without downloading all my music at the same time At least I finally chased a REAL storm yesterday
