Well… it didn’t take long to fully swing into spring… with the March 30th severe weather event in central/eastern KS-NE-OK and what looks to be an ominous looking tornado setup in Southwest Kansas tomorrow, April 1st.
I’ll let the GFS 4-panel model graphic (a 36-hr forecast valid 6pm CST April 1) below do the talking, for those of you who know how to interpret these charts. About as classic a setup as you can ask for in early spring. A negatively tilted upper trough slowly moving into the high plains at the peak-heating of the day. A formidable dryline will shape up from Western KS into the eastern TX Panhandle. Just amazing wind shear at all levels with abundant moisture and a warm front lifting north during the day. I’ll be working this one (not chasing), I can’t wait! I love working these kind of events… it’s why I do what I do 
If there’s significant tornadoes, lets just hope they stay in the open farmland like they’re supposed to out here.
