Looking out of the window in our chemistry classroom, it has started pouring down rain and a friend has said it is hailing in another part of the city as well. Very dark outside.

Wow. I remember in 2012 (my only trip to CMP so far) watching Einstein and hearing the roar of hail on the roof. In the match videos for those matches you can hear the GA making reference to the crowd noise compared to the noise on the roof, and it was definitely quite something. Safety first this weekend, and best of luck to everyone who gets to go to (what may be a very wet) Championship!

I am a volunteer staying on the top floor of the Drury Inn. It is rather noisy with rain hitting the building. I know from radar the storm seems to be moving quickly. Should be okay tomorrow. Good luck and safe travels to those coming in tonight and tomorrow. My prayers are with you and hope you all have a fantastic time at Champs. It should be another great time in the robotics world.

Doesn't look so good in St. Louis at this minute.

I'd like to emphasize that everyone needs to be cautious and pay very close attention to weather reports tomorrow as the National Weather Service is calling for worse weather tomorrow, including large hail and a chance of a few isolated tornadoes.

I'm in the St. Louis area now, and there's been some pretty intense thunder storms going on, although it looks to be dieing down now. Safe travels to everyone.

Anyone else impressed by how well we can forecast these days?

Re: Severe Weather in St. Louis
 

Meteorologists are amazing! ;)

Just wait and see what happens over the next 5-10 years. Lots of cool things being cooked up here in the "weather science" world.

Re: Severe Weather in St. Louis
 

Here in St. Louis, we're used to the forecasts changing without warning... the weather can be crazy here.

Re: Severe Weather in St. Louis
 

Meteorologists are amazing, yet I have still never seen a weatherman/woman get the weather right for over a few days straight.

AccuWeather has posted a warning for severe storms from Houston through St. Louis today: http://www.accuweather.com/en/weathe...s-o-1/56968328

Auntie Em!...Auntie Em! ;)

Someone tie down a safety inspector and have them give any passing twisters a good strong talking to :)
