Storm chasing will commence either Saturday or Sunday. | | Saturday, May 7th may be the first chase day of what appears to be a
fantastic multiple-day stretch of storm chasing going well into next
week. Initially on Saturday, there will be the potential for an
isolated supercell or two along the Red River valley around Wichita
Falls or so. After that, good moisture will move northward into the
central and northern Plains... about as far northwest as the Black
Hills region. This is where the northern branch of the jet stream
will nose. A southern branch of the jet will remain across Texas with
fairly weak flow in between. The dryline may be active on consecutive
days beginning Saturday in the same general area. Will Saturday be
too marginal and thus blow-off in favor of getting into position for
Sunday up north? Or do we chase Saturday south... then blast north to
get into the NEB/SD border region for the next day Sunday? Or do we
head south for Saturday and STAY down there for the duration and play
the hot dryline for consecutive days? The better tornado potential
will likely be up north where the backed winds will be and cooler
temperatures will be found (lower LCL heights). More later!
