I wish they would show the full live video in HD like it is being sent to TWC instead of putting the Weather Center pillars on the side (I'm talking about the HD feed, by the way...I'm not completely crazy!).  It's just weird because sometimes they have the live feed without pillars and sometimes with (on the same video between cuts).  Very weird.

I agree! It would look a lot better

I will say that at least they don't have the national HD information running to take up more of the screen.  +1 TWC.  hahaha

Vortex2 might have a good time in central Oklahoma and northern Texas later today as they're in SPC's moderate risk.

SPC upgraded central Oklahoma to a high risk, the fifth one issued for this year.  The other four did result in deaths, so tonight is serious for the Oklahoma City region.  There are already tornado reports beginning to pop up in this area, and it could be a long night ahead.  Any word on what Vortex2 has found so far?

Update from Mike Bettes

Happy memorial Day! Vortex 2 will be trying for some intercepts today. There have be 0 tornadoes in the V2 domain in the last 6 days. That's a bad drought. TWC will wrap up it's live coverage of V2 June 2nd. The project continues through the 15th.

I'm very glad that they had a pretty awesome year this year unlike the dry spell during the summer last year. I wish them all the best for the remainder of the trip!

It was a decent year. I hope they got a lot of data they can keep busy with :)

It may take them several years to sort out all that data.  Hopefully, we'll learn a lot from their work.

imo, this year was excellent yet thrilling for V2. They spotted a lot of supercell storms, and got some tornadoes. It's something I won't forget.

I heard he is coming back to the ATL today. Maybe sometime later this week? Maybe Monday?

Mike Tweeted

Time to head home after 33 days of tornado chasing. Saw 5 twisters and met some amazing people. A little R&R before returning to work Monday

So Ana you are right on the money!
