It is early Thursday morning and I have been tooling around with a cheap $12.00 tripod I picked up at Wal Mart yesterday. It is now redneckishly (that's not a word) attached to my RAM-Mount desk in my Xterra by none other than electrical tape. The tripod is going to hold my old MiniDV camcorder which will now be the primary video device for the VORTEXpursuit.com Live Video streaming. I did some testing and the camcorder provides a more crisp and adjustable image for the Live Video streaming and the tripod holds well. I am looking forward to trying this setup along with our new streaming video provider on the next chase...
Quite the confusing forecast ahead as there is a chance for some severe weather anywhere in the Monday-Tuesday timeframe through the central and southern Plains States. Mainly going to be a southern Plains event, it appears that the best chances of severe storms will be along and south of a stalled frontal boundary to setup along I-44. The warm sector becomes more unstable on Tuesday then on Monday, and surfaces winds are more backed on Tuesday than on Monday, so it appears at the moment that Tuesday may hold better severe potential. As it is 120-144 hours out at the moment, will not go in to details or target areas. I am only able to chase one day out of next week's probabilities and I am most considering Tuesday due to some issues with my work and getting somebody to cover my shift...as my work week goes from Saturday-Tuesday.
