Nothing shouting major outbreak in the models right up to t+384 atm, the jet still too far north of any juicy ait that may return north. Hopefully things will change ... as they normally do.

Even if the 06z came off, there would be some opportunites over the Nern Plains for text forecasts and few slight risks - though unlikely anything more severe, given lack of decent moisture return.

21st May looking good on 00z GFS from the central Plains up to the Great Lakes for possible severe storms, a trough passing through from the west with reasonable strong upper winds with it, good CAPE in place too, though likely capped as far south as Oklahoma:

ECM looking fairly similar for 21st too, with a trough passing through the northern Plains.

So thinking , on the early progs (and this is very very even extremely premature) one must be thinking that after collection at DWF/motel we might need to consider heading towards Norman.

this is open for debate of course

Still looking ok for storms across central Plains (OK and KS) 20/21st, a cold front shifting the moisture further south by 22nd - rich theta-e and big CAPE, though would prefer to see stronger winds at 500mb:

Theta-e and CAPE

500mb winds:

The the jet still way north and the jet max displaced from where the rich moisture is, all a long way off though and upper winds may become more favourable.

Atm, like Tom says, a trek north up the I-35 ...

so things looking good or bad? or somewhere in between?

Looking good for some storms on the Saturday and Sunday in Oklahoma and Kansas but there isn't much in the way of upper winds, but that could all change of course smile.png

As per Usual looking like a Pattern Change just in Time for the end of May - The 23rd to 30th Period looks interesting from the latest Models.

One to Watch!

I've been keeping a little bit of an eye on things for the last week or so but not a huge amount due to a family illness and then a broken computer. Models have generally been pretty poor but the GFS seems to be coming around a bit at the moment.The last couple of runs have had plenty to like in FI, especially from the 23rd onwards although the big thing plagueing the runs is the generation of some tropical lows in the Gulf. These stop decent moisture return and really muck up the models. The GFS is somewhat notorious for generation a lot of spurious tropical systems, so I'm hoping this isn't actually going to happen. This mornings 0z has this feature much weaker in FI and the outlook is much better. I still think it will be quiet for this week but with chase opportunities for those wishing to put in the miles. I wouldn't actually mind for it to stay calm until after the 20th so I don't have top make a choice between seeing the eclipse and going storm chasing :p
