Sorry for the lack of updates, but there isn't a whole lot to update on weather wise... Other than I haven't chased since the first week of April due to financial restraints -- given that I have decided to save my money for May and June (a wise decision, I would have to think) and even July chasing. Since then, there have been several nice chase days... Including this past Monday in OK and a few other days, including 4-16 in Illinois and 4-15 in Nebraska (the large "Beatrice" tornado) along with the 4-6 tube near Hanover, KS.
My unofficial "leave date" for the Plains is May 7th... The past GFS runs have shown a relatively active second week of May, with the first significant event looking to be around that timeframe -- with the latest GFS showing a large, negatively-tilted trough slamming into the central plains, with favorable low-level parcel trajectories for nice moisture return. I am hoping for a nice mid-May and into June year, just like 2005, but hopefully a few more outbreak days to please us all! :-)
