I was fortunate enough to capture the image below at sunset last evening. After we got back to Starkville, a long-lived MCS moved through and produced gusty winds and minor tree damage in town. After its exit, it made for a picturesque sunset.
The deepening western trough kicks out into the Plains on Thursday, and pattern recognition certainly suggests the potential for a significant severe weather outbreak. Copious moisture will surge northward Wednesday evening and Thursday. Meanwhile, an energetic upper-air system will spread across the warm sector, and will create an environment highly supportive of supercells. More specific details tomorrow.

thats gorgeous :) have you ever heard this? "...weather-lovers are part scientist, part poet. they rejoice in the forms and colors that glorify the weather. they delight in extremes." [t. morris longstreth]
Interesting. I never considered myself a poet, but that statement certainly fits me -- especially the extremes part! :)
Justyn, are you planning on heading out to the plains to chase? Sure looks good the next few days. I don't think I can this time, however.
Sadly, no. I kind of lost motivation to go as weird as that sounds. I guess I got too comfy at home! Too bad you can't go either. It looks good in Kansas!
