    Made it to Gainesville. Very cloudy. Further west and south I go…

    I convinced my girlfriend to go with me so we’re gonna head to her parents outside the Blue Ridge… think I can risk going a bit south. Can always run north up the parkway if I have to. Do hope it pans out here.

    Satellite looks a bit better than I thought it would at this point. Think I still drive but maybe I don’t need to go as far.

    Would you be okay with Staunton area if it was you? Looks like that’s where clouds might clear to my eyes.

    I’m fuming that it’s cloudy here. If they can see it in Paris, we’d be fine. Gonna make a last second scramble somewhere around 8pm, if I don’t fall asleep first. Best of luck to everyone!

    I’m seeing images in what I feel like are light-pollution heavy parts of Europe (e.g, Prague) that still look pretty good. Any chance the show is good enough that clouds are the only enemy?

    Getting close to locking in a trip to the Cville/Statunton area tonight. Aurora is finicky but thinking it could be worth the whirl. Vibes seem to be good.
  8. NorthArlington101
    Yeah, Cville is my target if I go for it. Gonna keep an eye on it and make a late call. Would be trying to be back in the morning for a Mother’s Day brunch so don’t want to go if it’s gonna be a wash. I was thinking Afton Mountain, maybe.

    West and a little south seems to look best. Maybe a nowcasting call as the evening progresses.

    Thanks for making the thread! Very interested in seeing the aurora somewhat locally. Became a bucket list item after a few great local chasers caught them in the Blue Ridge last year. Really bummed by clouds tonight. Hoping for a miracle - don’t want to drive super far north and even then odds don’t look fantastic.

    Hmmm… https://x.com/forecaster25/status/1788910484231438842?s=46&t=YRAxGyE8QLsoshMtJniktg

    Anyone debating an aurora chase tomorrow night? Tempted to go NW to the mountains if the forecast holds. edit: just saw the cloud cover forecast. Hopefully it last through Saturday night lol

    Think the main line will digest it soon enough, but seems unlikely we now leave the event without at least a single sigtor.

    PDS’d. Nasty presentation.

    Storm east of Hominy has a CC drop
  16. NorthArlington101
    Tail end Charlie of the line suddenly looks classic.

    TOR near Nashville, TN. Makes you think [emoji6]

    Man, the weather has been boring. How are we doing in here? Feel like I haven’t posted in forever… probably less than a month lol. We need to start thinking summer happy hour/BBQ. If nobody starts planning it soon I might have to try and step up.

    Thanks @WxWatcher007 ! Just assessing options… had my tropical vacation snatched away last minute by a series of unfortunate events. Might make sense to solo explore a city near here… or run up to NYC and find friends. Or a tornado!

    Anyone done proper Midwest storm chasing? My family vacation plans for May got disrupted but I’m still debating taking the time I had scheduled off for myself… I’m gonna be over my PTO allotment if I don’t use it soon. Trying to get a sense of the cost of existing as a storm chaser for a week - hotels, gas, rental car (with insurance, lmao). No idea if it’s worth the struggle but it strikes me as the kind of vacation that could work solo if I had to take a solo trip.

    Sucks knowing we just had our best severe wx day of the year in April [emoji20]
  22. NorthArlington101
    Family in Arlington concurs. Hearing thunder in Penn Quarter.
  23. NorthArlington101
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch just issued as well.
  24. NorthArlington101
    Down in Cville today in the TOR watch box. Definitely not chasing - but my first tornado watch of the season!

    was expecting the girlfriend to go -- offered to my mom to take her place and spare me a solo drive. She wasn't down w/ the sleeping arraignments... a single queen lol. that said, she ended up regretting not going. Working towards convincing them for a family (read: less expensive for me) Spain 2026 trip
