My longtime pal Scott Blair joined Blogger Nation today with his Target Area blog. Scott's one of the best photogs in chasing and his page should be a regular stop for those interested in great imagery of storms and tornadoes and landscape photography in general.

As of this morning's 12z operational NAM, surface features warranted interest in an area south of Childress to near Abilene for Monday, 10-5. One problem is the location of this area relative to the jet core, as the anticyclonic curvature is a potential issue not only for convective inhibition, but overall CAPE profiles even if initiation is a given. Still, it's worth watching.

And it's close.
