Am Freitag sei dagegen Einspruch beim Europäischen Patentamt (EPA) in München eingelegt worden, teilten die Naturschutzorganisation Greenpeace sowie der europäische Zusammenschluss "No Patents on Seeds" (Keine Patente auf Saatgut) mit. Die als neu definierte Eigenschaft der Frucht sei durch eine natürliche Gensequenz verursacht, die durch konventionelle Zucht in die Melone gelangt sei. Das sei nach europäischem Recht nicht als Erfindung patentierbar. | |

![]() | Mid-South braces for 2012's first severe weather event |
![]() ![]() ![]() A powerful Winter storm system currently making its way into the Ozarks and middle-Mississippi Valley region will interact with an unseasonably warm, moist Gulf airmass later this evening, prompting what is likely to be the first large-scale severe weather episode of 2012.Forecast models continue to suggest that strong, southerly wind-fields in the lowest levels of the atmosphere will readily transport this uninhibited current of Gulf moisture well into the Mid South and lower Ohio Valley, allowing dewpoints in the mid to upper 60s to migrate potentially as far north as the Missouri bootheel by sunset or just thereafter; this should provide plenty of fuel for thunderstorms that are likely to develop ahead of a cold front that will sweep across Arkansas later this afternoon. Low and mid-level wind shear is very favorable for thunderstorms with sustained rotating updrafts; any storms that are able to develop along and ahead of the front will have the potential for strong, possibly long-lived tornadoes, especially, and unfortunately, after dark, as the low-level wind shear is forecast to intensify in conjunction with the arrival of the most abundant moisture from the Gulf. The possibility of a nighttime tornado event presents an especially dangerous situation for residents of central and Eastern Arkansas, west Tennessee, northern Mississippi. As always, persons in the outlined areas are strongly urged to have their severe weather plans in place, monitor local media and, above all, heed warnings when they are issued--NOAA Weather Radios with fresh batteries are a must for events such as these. Numbers of storm chasers will be in the field as well; their activities can be monitored by following our Live Page. Stay tuned, as Reed will be providing updates as possible, from Twitter and Facebook, as the day unfolds. | |
![]() | First significant tornado of the year, CES show in Las Vegas! |
This same system, dumped over 10 inches of snow in Midland, TX where they shattered an all-time record for total snowfall in a year with over 20 inches, set in 1947! It eventually dumped snow in portions of IL, IN, WI and MI, where much needed snow was welcomed across the area. It has been an unseasonably mild winter and that looks to be the same for the next 10 days across much of the nation, thanks to a strong La Nina in place.
Chris Chittick and Dustin Feldman attended the 2012 International CES (Consumer Electronics Show) in Las Vegas this past week, where they were exploring all of the new technology being shown off for 2012! It's one of the largest shows Las Vegas has, where over 150,000 people were expected to attend with over 2,000 vendors! Here is a photo from their trip!

![]() | Winter Storm for TX/NM, Severe Weather possible for the Southeast! |
After record lows in the Southeast and record highs for the Plains/Midwest last week, an upper-level low has made its way to the Desert Southwest, where it will first dump snow for portions of SE NM and W. TX late tonight. A winter storm warning is in effect for the mentioned areas and up to 7 inches is possible! The map shows a current view of the watches/warnings currently in effect! Monday, the upper low will continue to deepen over parts of southeast TX and limited boundary-layer moisture will advect northward in response to its approach. Ridging aloft and weak lapse rates will limit instability, but should storms evolve, especially along the coastline, the shear in place definitely supports supercells and isolated tornadoes. Nevertheless, much needed rain will develop in drought-stricken Texas and flash flooding is possible in some areas, with up to 4 inches of total rainfall possible by tomorrow night / early Tuesday.
Tuesday, rain will linger across SE Texas as the upper low moves further east across extreme Eastern TX. Deeper moisture is expected to push north through SE AR, LA, MS and AL, where a warm front will exist. Again, instability will be limited, but shear profiles are supportive of supercells, including tornadoes. Heavy rain will also exist in these areas and flash flooding is definitely possible across the mentioned areas.
Stay tuned to TornadoVideos.Net as the next blog entry will explore TVN's unforgettable 2011 season! There will be a lot of new, amazing stuff happening in 2012 for TVN, so be sure to follow us on Facebook and Twitter, as well as here, in the upcoming months!

Tomorrow, (Monday) will feature all kinds of weather: from tornadoes/severe weather in Texas to blizzards from the OK/TX panhandle NE NM, SE CO and SW KS! Clicking here will show the current watch/warning maps issued by the National Weather Service, which includes blizzard warnings for the aforementioned areas! A powerful upper-level low will begin to move across the Desert SW while moisture advects northward from the gulf early Monday, setting the stage for an active day for the state of Texas. The Storm Prediction Center has already issued a slight risk for portions of SE Texas where the greatest instability will juxtapose the greatest shear. There is also a small chance for low-topped supercells and a slight risk for tornadoes close to the cold-core low--which is forecasted to be in the TX panhandle from late morning until early afternoon! Check out the LIVE streaming page as there will be multiple streamers out chasing the supercells and the blizzard!
Meanwhile, this same system is forecasted to dump as much as 2 feet of snow-- with blizzard conditions expected from NE NM into SW KS late Monday/ early Tuesday morning! Above, is a map of the latest NAM model output for snow!

![]() | High Winds in California, Upcoming Winter Storm! |
TVN's own Dustin Feldman took these photos of the wind storm in Montrose, CA which affected much of California and adjacent states yesterday! A weather station at Mammoth Ski Resort in the California Sierra recorded an incredible 146 mph wind gust with a temperature around 7 degrees!!! This system created a lot of damage and left hundreds of thousands without power, mainly in California, and school was canceled in some of the affected areas. There has been extensive damage and, according to the NWS, is one of the biggest wind storms in nearly a decade for California. Southern California was the hardest hit, where an estimated 300,000 people were without power. Areas in the Texas Panhandle, and in Eastern New Mexico are already under a freezing rain advisory from north of Lubbock to Carlsbad, NM starting late this evening. The NWS says significant icing is possible areas NW of Lubbock! This system will also impact the Central Plains, on Friday, where up to 8 inches is possible from NW KS northeast to E. NE. Gusty N/NW winds will create blizzard-like conditions, so if you're planning on traveling, please make sure to pay attention to local media outlets and prepare yourself for a winter storm!
Stay tuned to TornadoVideos.Net for the latest as there will be streamers out this weekend!

This week, TVN has been in Las Vegas for the AAPEX and SEMA conferences that are currently going on. If you have an invite, stop by either booth tomorrow where Chris and Reed will be! Chris will be at the LINE-X booth at SEMA and Reed will be at the Bosch booth at AAPEX! Here are some photos from the conference! ![]() ![]() Storm Chasers has moved to a new time starting tomorrow, Thursday, (Nov. 3rd) at the same time of 10 - E/P! I believe this will focus on the high risk day where TVN got a little too close to a tornado (that formed right in front of us in the trees) in SE Missouri near the town of Grandin! Here is the video of that below! Then next Thursday, the finale of will air and you definitely don't want to miss out on that!
Cold weather is sweeping across the Plains right now, with even snow in some areas. There's even potential for some severe weather this weekend into early next week, so stay tuned as TVN will chase anything that happens!

![]() | Northern Lights over the US, Italy Waterspout, Snow in Colorado, Hurricane Rina! |
Instead, I'm showcasing fellow storm chaser and "king of storm photography", Mike Hollingshead's stunning capture of the event (left) near Blair, Nebraska during the peak intensity. Mike really has a niche for storm photography and has been a huge influence on my own personal photography--he's nothing short of humble and a nice guy as well. Be sure to check out his account of this event, which hasn't reached this far south since December of 2006! On Tuesday, Extreme Tornado Tour's Olivier Stagier and swiss meteorologist, Dean Gill, had an exciting afternoon where they drove all morning to Northwest Italy, where a powerful system was affecting the area. In the Cinque Terre area in Liguria, between Portofino and La Spezia and near the coastal town of Riomaggiore, they saw the formation of an intense waterspout! This system was responsible for killer floods which destroyed homes and closed down interstates and railways. Stay tuned for the video of this amazing video!From record highs in the 80's, to over a foot of snow in some places, Colorado has seen its wild swing of weather already this week! On average, Colorado only receives about 4 inches of snow in October, but some places have easily surpassed that. The snow, wet and heavy, on the fall branches, was responsible for numerous power outages in the Denver metro area. 1-2 inches of snow is also possible tonight in the western Texas Panhandle, where a winter weather advisory is out until morning. This area needs all of the moisture they can get due to the extreme drought conditions.
Hurricane Rita is currently at a Category 1 with winds of 85 mph sustained and is located about 120 miles south of Cozumel, Mexico and is expected to reach the eastern coast of the Yucatan Penninsula. She should maintain hurricane strength but a gradual weakening tonight and into Friday is expected. Stay tuned to TVN for the latest!

![]() | Slight risk for the TX/OK panhandles today! Hurricane Jova to make landfall in Mexico tonight! |
Today, there is a slight risk for severe weather for portions of the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles, and a smaller risk further north from Kansas into Nebraska. The Storm Prediction center has low probabilities for a tornado/hail/wind for the slight risk area shown on the left. The latest RUC analysis (17z) actually shows the greatest potential for diurnal storms into Kansas and Nebraska between 23-0z (6-7 p.m.) where forcing is stronger and the cap is weaker. Forecasted hodographs in west-central Kansas are supportive of supercells with large hail and damaging winds being the main threats--but an isolated tornado around dusk can not be ruled out. Further south into the panhandles, the same is also possible, but storm initiation is still in question due to weaker forcing and mid/high level clouds which could hinder instability potential. Stay tuned, as storm chasers will be providing live video streams across the area, so be sure to tune in later as things unfold! Hurricane Jova has weakened some (currently at 100 mph max sustained winds or a Cat 2 hurricane) but is still expected to cause havoc along the pacific coast between Barra de Navidad and Puerto Vallarta late tonight. It could dump as much as 20 inches in some spots in Mexico and could cause significant flooding from the storm surge as well. The map, above, shows the projected path of Hurricane Jova and current warnings for it by the National Hurricane Center. Stay tuned for more chase reports from last week as October treated a few of us to some great structure and funnels!

![]() | Slight risk for much of the High Plains tomorrow! |
With the approach of a strong mid-level trough and strong surface heating beneath cool, mid-level temps--this will result in instability of 500-1000 j/kg for much of the highlighted area. This could be enough for the risk for large hail, strong winds and the possibility of a tornado or two. The two areas, I believe, that have the greatest threat for tornadoes are in the southern target (towards dusk) in the Texas Panhandle into southwest Kansas and somewhere in between I-70 and I-80 in Kansas and Nebraska. The forecasted LCL's (cloud bases) are rather high in the southern target, but a higher elevation, deeper moisture/stronger instability under a strongly-sheared environment could be enough for a tornado or two, possibly just after dark. The more likely area for a daylight tornado, would be in the early stages of storm initiation in western South Dakota/ NW Nebraska with lower LCLs (cloud bases), but given the weak instability/moisture return and backing of the mid-level winds, strong winds and large hail seem more likely. It's a tough forecast for those storm chasing tomorrow, but my current plan is to head west on I-80 and determine tomorrow morning a more defined target. Stay tuned as numerous storm chasers will be out and about in the slight risk area and will be streaming LIVE video as things unfold. Friday, will once again bring another chance of severe weather a little further east! | |
![]() | Storm Photo of the Week, Storm Chasers Episode 2 Airs Tomorrow! |
Storm Chasers, continues tomorrow (Sunday) at 10/9 E/C on The Discovery Channel, with a memorable chase near St. Louis, MO, where an EF-4 tornado affected the international airport after dark! What did everyone think about the first episode(s)? See everyone tomorrow night.
Stay tuned, as this quiet week of weather ends, a much more active weather pattern week is in store... | |
![]() | Severe weather by the end of next week? |
The long-range models have been somewhat consistent on bringing a large, west-coast trough into the Central Plains by the middle/late part of next week. While still a long ways out, the potential will be there for a severe weather outbreak and possibly a tornado outbreak for portions of the Central/Southern Plains including Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma and Texas, but it's too far out to get excited, just yet. The severe threat could continue into the Upper Midwest by next weekend, depending on mesoscale details that won't be unkinked until late next week. Stay tuned as this looks to be an active fall season and much needed rain, for drought-stricken areas, could return by late next week. | |

Today kicked off the start of the first of several days of severe weather for the southern Plains/ MS River Valley. It began across Arkansas, where a Severe Thunderstorm Watch is currently in place for SE AR, N. LA and extreme NW MS--where an 86 mph wind gust was recorded at the Stuttgart, AR airport earlier!



A powerful Winter storm system currently making its way into the Ozarks and middle-Mississippi Valley region will interact with an unseasonably warm, moist Gulf airmass later this evening, prompting what is likely to be the first large-scale severe weather episode of 2012.
After a couple of tornadoes in SE TX this week (rated EF-1, EF-0), the first significant tornado (EF-2 or greater) occurred on January 11th, near 














On Monday night, one of the most spectacular northern lights displays (especially for myself) happened across the US, anywhere from Wisconsin to Del Rio, Texas! It was sparked by a CME (coronal mass ejection) that weakened earth's magnetic field and sparked a nice Aurora Borealis show across the United States. Visually, to the naked eye (from the Kansas City suburbs), I could only see the majestic red "wave" for about 5-10 minutes, but my camera picked up the red and green glows for a good 30 minutes afterwords. Due to no tripod, I was only able to capture them on my car roof and they didn't turn out as well as I've liked.
On Tuesday, Extreme Tornado Tour's Olivier Stagier and swiss meteorologist, Dean Gill, had an exciting afternoon where they drove all morning to Northwest Italy, where a powerful system was affecting the area. In the Cinque Terre area in Liguria, between Portofino and La Spezia and near the coastal town of Riomaggiore, they saw the formation of an intense waterspout! This system was responsible for killer floods which destroyed homes and closed down interstates and railways. Stay tuned for the video of this amazing video!

Modest moisture return and weak instability will limit a more widespread severe weather event tomorrow afternoon/evening, but all modes of severe weather are expected--including the risk of isolated tornadoes. The photo, left, shows the areas highlighted, in yellow ,by the Storm Prediction Center for tomorrow for the greatest severe weather threat. Current surface observations show mid to upper 50 dewpoints in the Texas Panhandle with lower 60 dew points onshore near the Texas gulf coast. Moisture return will try and make its way up from the gulf, but is rather shallow, and will advect northward as far north as western South Dakota by midday tomorrow.
Check out this amazing photo by Tom Hannan on April 27th, 2011 near Rose Hill, MS. He estimates he was about 500-600 feet away and could hear the roar--a little too close for comfort! This tornado was rated an EF-4, had a damage path of 65 miles and sadly took the lives of 7 people. TVN stayed the night in Meridian, MS that night and heard of the fatalities, from this tornado, while chatting with local law enforcement. A lot of these areas, affected by the April 27th deadly tornado outbreak, had very little media attention as some did this year, and are still picking up the pieces and dealing with the aftermath. Hopefully, everyone is in the process of healing now and can get their lives back to as normal as possible, as soon as possible.
