Waiting outside Bow Island AB

As the warm front came over top of us, the sky took on some life very briefly. Now waiting here for initiation. Next update from PSPC should be interesting. Watches are up and chasers are ready for action from Taber to Medicine Hat and south west Saskatchewan.

Supercell south east of us now!

We are at a motel in Bow Island, between the blue cell and pink one. Could set up a nice sunrise at 5am! That is the spot we waited at all day. It seems to be stationary so it will be a perfect set up for tomorrow at noon.

Near Foremost, Alberta right now, preparing to intercept cells coming in from Montana!

Chase Day Today

PSPC is confirming our mapped out risk area. They are saying south of the Yellowhead highway will be the main risk area on Tuesday. Talk in the storm chasing community is pretty much settled on the Regina area as the focus for Tuesday. Prairie Storm Prediction Centre also says is will be a dangerous situation. As for today, my chase team is getting ready to head out in the Shadow Hunter. We want to target the Maple Creek to Medicine Hat areas for this afternoon. We are not expecting too much, however we must take some time to test equipment and communications before the big show starts tonight and into Monday. Please refer to the previous post for the general risk area and we will post as we go, photos and current conditions. Feel free to discuss on the twitter list, Facebook group and commenting on this page. Links are in the side bar further down on this page. The live chase link will show the location of other chasers on the map.
