VORTEX 2 (frisbee) action!

The trucks are loaded up. All our equipment and software has been tested and is (mostly) functional. And we have blue skies and nice warm, dry weather. Looks like it will be a few days until we get some real storms to go after. The last big storm system to move across the country (the one that brought the tornadoes and flooding to parts of the southeast) has effectively cut off our flow of moisture from the Gulf of Mexico, leaving us with pleasant but disapointingly non-stormy skies.



So we spent our morning playing frisbee at the National Weather Center, before rolling out to western OK to meet up with the rest of the V2 armada. Hopefully we'll get something to chase in the coming days, although prospects still look rather bleak at the present. Nonetheless, here are some shots of the sounding team "in action."


Casey launches a might throw...


...and Matt makes a flying catch!




All the while, Casey B. makes it look easy.

Hopefully some storms show up before I dedicate a post to tossing around the Vortex (2) football!
