Good to see you back out Martin, fingers crossed it'll be more lively than last year!
Yeah Nick, hopefully see something a bit more exciting than a funnel cloud but as long as I see some great lightning and storm structure I’m pretty satisfied either way.

Damn it’s been a quick year, can’t wait to get back out there again. Haven’t seen a single lightning strike since last years tour 3 so you could say I’m currently suffering with withdrawal.

What is this “rain” people are talking about?
-
Well it was a tad warm out there today, Edinburgh reached an amazing 28C even with the cooler sea breeze from the east. Very unpleasant to be out in. And now it appears as though tomorrow will have a maximum of 15 or 16C which is honestly a bit too cold for my liking

Arriving in Dallas a few weeks back, it was over 37C. Now for a scot who has only ever been subjected to 30C a couple of times in his life walking out of that airport was the biggest shock to the system I’ve ever had, absolutely horrendous. I’ll take 25C any day, next week should hopefully provide that.

Fantastic, that’s another cloud off the list, not sure what’s left at this point. Saw Nacreous clouds last year, supercell thunderstorms a couple of weeks ago. Ill look at my met office pocket cloud book tomorrow haha

500 CAPE seems so insignificant after the 5000+ CAPE I was seeing while in the states haha but hey I’m in the likely area for thunderstorms today so can’t complain.

We are staying at the Best Western at Irving on the first night and have booked you a room in your name, when you land can you get to car rentals and get the shuttle bus (Free) to pick you up and get you to the Best Western.
There is a 5% Tornado Risk and the others can get a bonus chase in and get back to the Hotel tonight.
We will then make our way North for Fridays risk first thing on Thursday morning.
No problem mate

Yeah probably easier not to bother, I’m sure I can survive 10 days without booze..... I think
-
Damn, not sure I’ll get away with it now but we’ll see I guess haha

Do you have to be 21 to drink in the US?

If you can get earlier then 100%, but that's better than 10pm!
Right, so I wasn’t able to get anything earlier than 6pm today, so basically as soon as I land, if you guys are wanting to head out, then you can drag me with you even if I’m jet lagged. I refuse to miss any storm potential especially if the pattern is looking decent
-
I can get a flight into Dallas for 18:02 on the 30th, should I be looking for even earlier flights or does this suffice?
-
I’ll look into that ASAP
-
Hey guys, just wanted to let you know my flight to Dallas doesn't get in until 22:02 on the 30th. I would like to apologise for being such a dumbass and not booking a flight for before 6 and hope I dont screw anything up for you all. Honestly feel like such an idiot now, if needed i will make my own travel arrangements to join the tour as i really dont want to inconvenience anyone
-
It feels like we have been under the influence of an anticyclone for weeks, so boring. Damn blocking high's, get out the way
-
Kinda wish they taught more storm related meteorology on my uni course, only had a couple of lectures on the topic and it was the most basic concepts. Hoping to fill some gaps in my knowledge here so keep these types of posts coming ?

I’m just sitting at my window in awe, Scotland maybe gets a storm like this once every 5 years. Not going to bed until it’s over.
