We rolled into Amarillo yesterday (Sunday) at about 3pm. The potential for severe was slight at best. With the best possibility far south near the Rio Grande. Too far to hustle so we checked in our usual haunt and found it to be a "Chase Ghetto" with the team from the Center for Severe Weather Research and and the DOW camped out at the same hotel.

We spent the afternoon catching up with Warren and had a good meal. Looks like today is another slight risk in the neighborhood. But we'll probably lay low and get ready to move back north. I'm going to go looking for a pawn shop guitars or something.

We'll start making our way north tomorrow as the models are lining up for an explosive few days beginning Wednesday. 3 Days out and the SPC is issuing a Mod Risk. Looks like we'll be very busy from Wed - Sat.

Right now my only nagging concern is the ability to get home. the severe setup will continue into next week and will probably sock in Chicago. I'm already bracing myself for travel complications. But if the forecasts pan out it will be worth the aggravation. fingers crossed.
