Time for a bit of humor...and a brief outlook.

It looks like the severe weather season returns to W TX and the PH next Tuesday as a front settles into the area and a resident surface low and dryline sets up. I love these patterns because nobody is really paying attention to it yet because the GFS kills the mid and upper winds. However, good instabilities, boundaries and 30-40 knot mid level winds (despite model forecasts) will be plenty. Things get better after Tuesday. In the meantime, we are enjoying some reallly nice, cool weather in the PH.

btw...anybody remember the old promo commercials for The Weather Channel? They're showing a few of them in celebrating their 25th anniversary. I just saw one of the old "The Front" commercials. It's like a sports bar but totally decked out weather weenie style right down to little anemometers on the tables. LOL!! I loved those commercials. Here is the only links I find:

Here is a "truckboat" David Drummond and I saw in Miami, Texas. It needs a name as the ultimate stormchasing vehicle. Why a chase vehicle? Well, it has an amber light right on the hood....old school!! LOL!! Miller OK should get a kick out of this one.

It's not an optical illusion. Somebody welded the boat trailer with the truck frame. It certainly looked drivable, but probably needed a little work.
