    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

    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]

    Family in Arlington concurs. Hearing thunder in Penn Quarter.
  14. NorthArlington101
    Severe Thunderstorm Watch just issued as well.

    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

    Climo - cold. And I assume cloudy. I’m growing interested in Egypt 2027. Six minutes of totality near Luxor. Hmmm…
  18. NorthArlington101
    Unsurprisingly I think we took the same route back. I also got detoured into Youngstown. I guess we’ll never know if that was Waze being smart or too smart for its own good. It did good getting me off 270 for the 4th lane closure of the day.

    lessons for 2045 (writing these for myself) - cirrus clouds are fake - don’t worry about them. - probably want to spend the day before and the day after there - pre-eclipse traffic is fake. Post-eclipse traffic is more real - can watch from anywhere. Doesn’t matter where… just go - if you want to film a video to show others, try and avoid crying of awe in the background lol

    17 hours of driving in 36 hours later. Worth it - though I wouldn’t do it again if it was tomorrow haha
  21. NorthArlington101
    I cried. That was amazing. Time to hit the road.
  22. NorthArlington101
    More high clouds than I’d like in Mansfield, but I have little doubt the sun will stay visible… knock on wood.
  23. NorthArlington101
    We’re off. Already stunning - forgot how cool even a partial looks.
  24. NorthArlington101
    3 minutes til partial and echo the low clouds - but still probably only 50/50 in coverage. Will be sketchy for a perfect totality but beggars can’t be choosers. Looks good off just eyeballing the sky to my SW - so here’s hoping.
  25. NorthArlington101
    I realize I said satellite looked “perfect” but don’t think there is anyway around the high clouds. Remember reading something on some weenie tweet that the eclipse might help dissipate some of those anyways. Regardless, not seeing any mid- or low- level clouds. Found my people in the Wal-Mart lot and am snacking on Takis
