TVN is currently stationed in Oxford/Tupelo, MS, with the Dominator being outfitted with air cannons and the revamped radar by Hyperion Technology Group. It looks like we could be here for the whole week, with an array of 12 cannons being mounted on the back right side of the shell, with 50 temperature/moisture/pressure probes outfitted with parachutes ready for launch. It looks like tomorrow and Wednesday could be good storm chasing days in the Southern Plains, and it's torture to potentially miss these, but we absolutely have to have the Dominator fully outfitted with our research equipment in time for the apocalypse on Saturday through early next week. By the calendar we may be half way through the season, but based on the long-range models it looks like the real season has not even begun. So far we're up to 17 tornadoes, most from close range and one good intercept, with hopefully many more to come over open terrain! Have already grinded out between 10 and 15,000 miles across Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Missouri, Arkansas, Illinois, Indiana, Tennessee, and Mississippi, and with no AC in the Dominator and cabin temperatures consistently soaring about 100F it has been brutal. Rarely clean laundry as well as an added business! I'll be posting about tomorrow's severe chances once all the model data is available! Stay tuned...
