With all of the talk on VORTEX 2, the largest severe weather research expedition ever, you would think severe weather was breaking out everywhere. Well guess what? This past week was very quiet, so quiet the Storm Prediction Center didn’t issue a single weather watch(severe t-storm/tornado)! This has never happened before during this particular week in May.
Greg Carbin with the Storm Prediction Center has a pretty detailed description of this past week’s event in the US Severe Weather Blog
This is bad news for the VORTEX 2 project, but great news for the rest of us who are not particularly big fans of severe weather. After last year, I can tell you, I’m pretty much over severe weather!
