11:35 AM CDT - Will be playing the warm front today in central Illinois. Should a storm root itself to the boundary, tornado potential is certainly there! Be sure to check out the live streaming page by clicking the image to the right!

12:34 AM CDT - Looking like a potential severe weather outbreak across the midwest on Wednesday. Stay tuned to the blog for updates on chasing plans and my thoughts on the weather situation as the day draws near.

10:00 AM CDT - Will  be chasing this evening, but not the main event in the southern plains. Likely in western Illinois today, and Iowa on Sunday. Will be continuing the live streaming as CNN will be demo'ing the streams during their severe weather coverage this evening. Check the Live Streaming page for my current GPS location and live streaming video.

10:35 PM CDT- Couple possible severe weather days will exist in the central and southern plains late this week into the weekend. The Texas Panhandle looks decent for tornadoes tomorrow. I will not be chasing, but the area southwest of Amarillo, Texas seems to be a decent starting point.

Will be fairly busy this weekend, but will keep an eye on the system as it approaches the Mississippi Valley. Looks like things become fairly disorganized by that time frame, however. Looks like a slow period (which is just what we need to allow the Gulf of Mexico to recover, and then potentially more activity mid-next week?

3:25 PM CDT- Slow season thus far in chaseable areas of the central United States.  Have taken advantage of some of the terrible weather to work indoors and do some more updates to the web site. For those interested in chase vehicle layouts, or those just wanting to stalk me for any reason I have finally finished the "Vehicle Page" with some interior shots of my car in "chase mode". Click here for the vehicle page.

10:43 PM CDT- Will be chasing south central Kansas today. Moisture is borderline for tornadoes, but will be trying anyway. Check the blog and Live Tracker for updates on my position!

March 17 2009
10:19 PM CDT -Confidence is growing that one or more severe weather events may unfold across the middle part of the U.S. next week. The system appears to be punching into the plains late Sunday into Monday and will likely affect the plains and midwest as late as Wednesday.

9:17 PM CST - I've been toying around with the appearance of the page today. I'm trying to incorporate a new logo which of course through off the entire color scheme of the website, so I'm trying to get things easier on the eyes. Give me feedback in the Prairiestorm Media Blog!
