3:00 pm CDT: I made it to Oklahoma with relative ease, and look forward to seeing everybody as they fly in from various locations all over the world. Will there be something to chase tomorrow? Perhaps... so we'll see what Charles has to say about it! Here's what the SPC shows for their Probabilistic Forecast...

7:00 pm CDT: I just got word that we are going to make it an early start tomorrow. We're having our group orientation tonight at 9 pm and then we're meeting at 8 am to load up and boogie north. Looks like our best chance will be up in Nebraska (not unlike how it worked out for my first day of chasing in 2004)... so we will have a LONG drive ahead of us. In addition, there's a possibility that Tuesday may find us in Minnesota, of all places! There's lots of time for that to change, though...

10:00 pm CDT: Here's a link to a few shots that I took during this evening's orientation. Looks like it's going to be a good group of people to chase with. Roughly half of the group I've chased with before... and half that I haven't. The fun starts tomorrow!
