You can thank Pinatubo for that one. I agree with Harry on last summer. Last summer made me want to move.... really far north. I had flashbacks of the Middle East from late June into July.

There are significant stores of hydrates on the ESAS that are at depths less than 300m, including a few as shallow as 20m due to the "self-preservation" effect (metastability). This self-preservation effect is well known in the oil patch. Whether the hydrates there exhibit more of a chronic release or are susceptible to short-term bulk releases is a subject of debate. More evidence exists for chronic release in the paleo-record, but we also haven't had a precedent in the distant past where the Gas Hydrate Stability Zone (GHSZ) could be so close to the surface (due to very cold Arctic water temps) and be subject to rapid warming. During the PETM, such hydrates would have had to exist at great depths and the subsequent changes in temperature in the GHSZ would've been very slow.

Extremely prominent occlusion process going on with the killer cell that just passed over into Georgia.

Central IN seems like a good area.

So, who's up for chasing this sucker tomorrow?

It's a nice severe sounding, but all crosswise vorticity suggests little tornado threat. I would be mainly worried about wind and some hail.
