May 22nd and May 23rd...Potential Chase of the Year
The next two days have the potential to make or break my chase season. If it works out right, it could be one of my top chases of all time.
Moisture will surge back rapidly overnight tonight and through the weekend, with a nice deepening low over SE Colorado and a dryline setting up across WRN KS. A warm front will be inplace across NRN KS into SRN NEB.
What can I say...shear and instability will be great...especially near the dryline/warm front intersection. My pick as of now will be Hays Kansas...will get there tomorrow afternoon and go from there. Storm motions will be a bit quick, 200/40 or so, but will hope for a right move along the warm front.
Friday looks good as well, but perhaps not quite the shear setup as Thur. Still, very unstable air mass near the warm front should yield a few tornadic supercells, SRN NEB into NRN KS. Good luck to all who will be chasing!
