May 10 Summary

Today was a first -- chasing in northeast LA into far west central MS. Saw some very nice storms and great supercell structure, namely from a distance. Even in the less forest-dense areas near the MS River, terrain and road logistics were quite a complication, let alone the thick moisture-rich haze. Today was an "experience" to say the least. Even though logistics/visibility was difficult, I think we're glad we gave it a try, especially given the pattern that's now setting in.

We are now shut down for at least the next two days. Although seemingly low end, there's a chance there may be chase potential Saturday in OK along a pseudo warm front in presence of modest moisture. Things can't get much more quieter for mid May.

That far east, huh, Guyer... That's a new for VACUUM. ;) Good to hear you guys were able to get some action though, during the early part of your "vacation." I've been monitoring your chase-cam and GPS-Tracking. Even though the potential kinda stinks (especially now), I still miss the time together with you guys. I wish I could have made it down there this year... Ah well, at least we had some storms up here to enjoy, earlier this week. Good luck with the rest of your trip!
