Do something safer, Mikey. Golf. Or call me, baby. I'm stormy.
You chasing?
I went out and came home around 6pm EST. The storms stayed farther north than i thought they would today, and the visibility was kinda hazy. Looks like the clean air spring chases are behind me. Bring on the humidity, haze and dew points in the 70's. Oh well...

Looks like you spoke too soon, Mikey... don't look now, but guess who's got a moderate risk?! Weather hog.
I know, and I can't chase at all today. Guess I'll be a backyard chaser unless this comes thru after 6pm.
SCM
Darn.
