Thought you all might be interested in some chase stats. 2018 was a long year. 8972 miles. 5 tornadoes (1 in February and 4 in December). Got some pretty cool shots in the plains. For how bad 2018 sucked, I had a decent year.
FWIW, there may be the *potential* for some severe around 12/27. GFS has been fairly consistent and the EURO has a similar low as well.
Obviously pretty far out still but the D7/8 period looks somewhat intriguing.

.Thanks. was actually a screen grab from an iphone video. my gps tracker put me about 3 miles wsw from maroa.
On a side note, I wrote a program that logs all my gps points on a 1 second interval. Pretty handy for post analysis.
Some of the soundings for sunday along the warm front are encouraging. Mid level flow is a little weaker than ideal but 40-45 kts would get the job done. Excellent turning from 0-1 with good speed shear. It looks chasable to me.
