Target Areas / Cabin Fever in May?
Added 2018-05-10 18:09:47 +0000 UTCThe strong upper level flow and 60s dew points that are common this time of year in the Alley have left the building. Weak dynamics continue to bring a whole lotta uncertainty regarding tornado activity through the week, but at least one of those days has potential for a surprise sleeper tornado event (perhaps even today in Western Nebraska).
Friday and Saturday has the moisture, but a STRONG cap currently appears to suppress any storm activity according to the NAM weather model. The GFS weather model gives me higher confidence in storm activity Sunday through Wednesday but in a weakly sheared environment.
I'll make a call this evening If I'm going to risk getting a sunburn Friday and Saturday, But the more likely scenario is that I hit up the Texas Panhandle Sunday through Wednesday. The real stuff currently appears to be arriving May 18th, 19th and 20th.

Hank, with “The King” looking over the prognostication, I can’t see where you can go wrong. I’m betting this coming weekend will produce some worthwhile activity, though. Best of luck and good hunting.

2018-05-11 06:22:34 +0000 UTCMy husband's birthday is May 20th...and for some reason that date seems to be about the peak of tornado season in KC. We've had tornado warnings a few times on that date! xD
