FCST: Through mid/late April

Doesn't look good at all for chase opportunities in the long range. In the short term, there is a trough coming out on April 15th across the central and nrn plains, but moisture quality will not be good. Can't trust the models exact location this far out but it appears from NERN KS into ERN NEB and WRN IA will be the spots to be (not me though).

After this wave moves through, looks like that nasty ERN U.S. trough will want to re-emerge. We can spare 2 or 3 weeks here in mid to late April, as long as May turns around! I suspect we'll see another round of troughs by that time, at which time the smorgasbord will become fully stocked.
