 Storm Front
These two images show the midwest storm fronts being chased right now by Pulaski County High School Meteorology/Science teacher Dave Carroll, Roanoke Times reporter Kevin Myatt, and students from Pulaski County High School, New River Community College and Virginia Tech.
Yesterday they encountered the storms whose clouds are shown in the left-hand image.
However, it doesn't appear they'll have any great luck today with the clear skies shown over the Kansas-Nebraksa area.  :-(
