So this afternoon Tony L. called and said "well SPC has done it to us again!" and yes they have! Tomorrow has a moderate risk along with a 45% hatched area for severe weather. I breify checked the ETA and liked everything I saw except for the 500mb winds. They seem rather weak to me for an outbreak of tornadoes. I'll have to check the other models to see if it was only the ETA.Right now the plan is to stay up till 11pm and see what the Day 1 outlook is like. Then I will get up early-squirrley in the morning and make my decision after checking the surface obs. Michael had his car broken into again at the park and ride last night so he is recovering from his Florida trip, our trip to NE and KS weds and thurs. He would not be able to join me on Saturday so that plays into my decision to go or not. It is sure nice to have his company in the car and to have someone to share in the long haul drives back to Denver!
I'll be making my go/no go decision as late as 6am Saturday morning. I'm currently at 50% going.
