's time to get back on the road. The briefing is illustrated by David Dowell of the NOAA of today and the next day. Today and tomorrow, even if two days are marginal (in the forecasts of the Storm Prediction Center shows a Slight Risk) field operations will still be conducted. The experience of recent years leads us not to underestimate the Slight Risk. E 'already' happened to have some good days of hunting in these situations than in situations where a more risk 'high as a Moderate Risk.
The constant problem of these days and 'the lack of humidity' which continues to struggle to climb over the states' southern border with the Gulf Mexico. In addition 'to the area today to greater instability' potential does not overlap with the areas where 'the expected maximum shear, but the arrival of a front from the northwest will bring' development of original time for the day today thanks to the strong heating of the soil, it is necessary 'to assess whether these storms will be organized in some structure convective more' interesting.

for the evening is not nothing but back to the hotel booked for the night, in Omaha.
Nature still does not help the VORTEX2. There are still 13 days of possible operations on the ground, we hope that with the month of June, things may change but the year seems destined to be remembered for a very limited number of episodes of severe weather.
