Pattern Ablazing August

Do y'all think a drone would be good for capturing storms in my back of the woods lol? Have a lot of tree lines. But a LOT of good tornadic storms and severe storms come through my vicinity. After seeing the drone footage of the tornado that passed near spann's house in March. Its been on my mind.

I have my drone license, it was a work requirement. But you have to go very expensive to stand up to any sort of winds, otherwise you'll end up in the trees. Look into the gently used market.
 
PGV officially at a +15 inch surplus and only about .25 off the wettest year to date. Saturday looks like another chance at taking the lead before we hit a dry spell.
 
3k nam coming in wetter for MBY. This highest total is just a few miles west. It's getting ridiculous at this point.

Things are continuing to look quite wet for Saturday morning through honestly most of the day Saturday. These rainfall rates along with training cells looks to produce a decent flash flooding threat IMO. Looks to be a fun day with heavy rain and thunderstorms widespread for most of the area .. rejoice
 
Another interesting thing to note is that a lot of the models on recent cycles have realllyyy tamed the heat in every way shape and form. I haven’t been able to grab any real look of oppressive heat from any of the models even out into the long range .. if anything it gets cooler later … 80s - 70s when rain comes around.. other than that maybe a few 90 degree days but even they look scarce.. I don’t wanna say big time summer heat is over but it’s bit looking good for anyone who is rooting for 95-100+ degree heatwaves

If we can get out of the clouds and rain tomorrow morning and generate some instability we have a decent set up for some severe storms

The 3k running hot as always

Get out of clouds and rain tomorrow . That seems hard to do if you ask me . Especially further north , probably you make it out but @Brick Tamland doesn’t and we hear about south and east action and it only storms when there is no watch etc.

That's a much better image and shows the initiation point way better and that actually starts right over the PCS phosphate mine which makes it that much more interesting

I would assume it's birds or bugs it looks like a mayfly hatch but I don't know enough about the ecology to really say

Enough mid level flow to get organized multicells with a damaging wind threat going with that look

Yeah the NAMs are really slow and west with the sfc low and back the LL flow thus the tor threat. Most other models have an elongated weaker low or just a trough axis which cuts the tor threat but the wind/hail threat are still there

GFS is basically low-mid 90s everyday past Sunday thru day 10 from what I see

Cmc upper 80s low 90s.. euro I saw mainly upper 80s . icon is the same and Gfs is the same excepts it probably prints more low 90s than anyone .. but even that is extremely typical .. no model is sporting a big ridge of any sort and nothing greater than some low 90s .. seems solid to me

It looks like an explosion. I would think wildlife wouldn't move with the same pace in all directions. But who knows?

Wouldn’t be hampered by morning convection?

Yeah the whole thing tomorrow is touch and go. There's a little agreement in the models on the overall coverage and placement of the first shot of rain but not enough to really say. Obviously if the models error in either direction the afternoon storm coverage goes in either direction.
