Storms and Armor All Ad
I posted my chase log and photos from Monday on my website. See the homepage link on the right side of this page. Or click here.
A large upper-level low pressure system, associated fronts and a dryline, moderate instability, and ample wind shear are responsible for severe thunderstorms breaking out today from Kansas to Texas to Alabama. Five tornadoes have been reported so far in Arkansas and Louisiana, with more possible tonight in the Mississippi River Valley region.
A ridge of high pressure is building on the East Coast, and this is going to block the upper-low and keep it from moving out into the Atlantic for the next few days. This means more severe weather could be possible in the eastern US over the next couple of days.
And now, for a special announcement–I have re-discovered Armor All. Sunday afternoon, in anticipation of chasing on Monday, I decided to thoroughly clean out my car. My dashboard was getting woefully dusty, and my trunk was a mess. The other day at Walmart, I saw some Armor All cleaning wipes and remembered that when I was a kid, my Dad wanted me to use Armor All to clean and protect the interior of our car. I don’t think I thought much of the product back then; probably because I didn’t always do the best job of wiping down the car. Or I just didn’t appreciate it. Anyway, I tried using the cleaning wipes on my dashboard on Sunday, and I was blown away. I think my car must have been really dusty and dirty, because I wiped down every inch of the dashboard, console, and door panels, and now–my car glows! Well, at least on the inside. So go out and buy some Armor All–it will make your car look new and happy again. Thanks, Dad. 🙂
