MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... MESONET TICKER ... May 24, 2011 May 24, 2011 May 24, 2011 May 24, 2011 May 3, 1999? This is very Weather-ish, but at least on the surface, today's setup for the possible tornado outbreak looks different than what was occurring at 1:30 pm on May 3, 1999. Today looks more juicy thus far! Of course, conditions vertically also matter, but let's take a look at what's going on close to the ground. This Mesonet map is from May 3, 1999, at 1:30 pm. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20110524/may3-1999.png Here's a similar map for 1:30 pm today. http://ticker.mesonet.org/archive/20110524/may24-2011.gif May 3: Temperatures in the 70s, strong southerly winds gusting to 25-30 mph, dewpoints in the mid-upper 60s. Today: Temperatures in the 80s and 90s, strong southerly winds gusting to 25-35 mph, dewpoints in the lower 70s. So surface wise, if you're looking at the ingredients to these nasty cake, we're more well-stocked today. YIKES! Stay weather aware, and safe!
