This does look possible-but it is about a week away. Defintely is something to watch though.

DVN is on board with the storm possibilities:
QUOTE A MAJOR STORM SYSTEM TO IMPACT THE MIDWEST EARLY NEXT WEEK WITH POTENTIAL FOR A LARGE AND SIGNIFICANT SEVERE WEATHER OUTBREAK. IN THIS CASE THE MAJOR CYCLONE TRACKS TO THE WEST OF THE DVN CWA WITH WARM FRONT LIFTING WELL TO OUR NORTH PUTTING THE REGION IN THE VOLATILE WARM SECTOR. WILL BE USING THE MORE RELIABLE ECM MODEL FOR THIS FORECAST. Source This post has been edited by Karl: Apr 19 2011, 07:37 PM |

The storm tracks edge north this time of year and end up in Canada by July. Now is as good as time as any for the LOW's to begin tracking further north. -pc |

While this is looking likely, anything could change...something to look at....

QUOTE(ChiWxWatcher @ Apr 19 2011, 08:52 PM) While this is looking likely, anything could change...something to look at.... there is remarkable agreement among the models right now on a strong storm system. It is going to happen. but it is impossible to hammer out the details of what type of severe weather event will unfold this far out. but there def will be an outbreak with this. but the magnitude is yet to be determined. this def has a lot of potential to be deadly |

QUOTE(Snow____ @ Apr 19 2011, 09:59 PM) How can you say severe weather is likely a week away. because there is good agreement among the models on a potent storm system. we have a strong sfc low, large warm sector, good upper level dynamics (neg tilt trough), warm and very moist air mass in place. it is pretty obvious severe weather will occur with this system. AFD's and many forecasters already mentioning it man... |

Monday already looks very fun for some people. I am selfishly hoping the system slows down a little bit compared to what the models are currently showing.

But I agree...the best tornado is one that stays in an open field. Don't like to see houses damaged/destroyed. -------------------- |

Don't like to see houses damaged/destroyed. good point. mother nature does what she wants and she is pretty angry lately. this la nina yr is def enhancing the clashing of air masses this yr. just sucks that tornado alley has kinda shifted east this yr due to the extreme dry conditions farther west. it would be better to have tornado outbreaks in open areas with little population |

Same system?
QUOTE Larry Cosgrove
I am looking at the new (12z Tues Apr 19) GFS data. When it comes to severe weather events, forget "isolated" or "moderate" for Tuesday and Wednesday of next week. Use "abusive" instead...yikes! 18 hours ago -------------------- |

SPC 4-8 Day Outlook
QUOTE WITH LIKELY AMPLIFICATION OF THE LARGE SCALE PATTERN VIA THE
EVOLUTION OF A PROMINENT WESTERN/CENTRAL CONUS UPPER TROUGH BY DAYS 5-6 SUNDAY/MONDAY...PRELIMINARY THINKING IS THAT A MORE WIDESPREAD/MULTI-ROUND SEVERE THREAT MAY EVOLVE THROUGH DAYS 6-8 MONDAY/TUESDAY/WEDNESDAY FROM THE SOUTHERN PLAINS EAST-NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE MIDWEST/MS RIVER VALLEY. BUT...SPECIFIC PREDICTABILITY IS STILL QUITE LIMITED IN THIS TIME FRAME. -------------------- My Blog: http://theweathercentre.blogspot.com
