Repeat of Oct 4th 2004? Skinner already put this forecast up a week ago so I thought it was time to add it to my blog now.

On sat Oct 4th 2004 9 land spout tornadoes were reported along the front range. Skinner observed one of them from 9th floor of UNC's dorms. Similar aspects are in this weekends forecast.
