5/18 - 4pm - Quiet here...

Wow, I must say that the weather has been tranquil today. 65 degrees and a few scattered clouds really gets the senses going.

This pattern of calm weather, with some pretty intense warming, should stick around until mid next week. By then we are just adding in some daily storm chances that are normal for this time of year.

Nationally, nothing severe is on the map for a few days. I am looking at the SPC 4-8 day outlook which has some areas in the plains outlined for some severe weather, but as of now it looks okay for us. It seems as though the storms on that front will collapse before they get here.

The only real moisture I'm seeing right now could be next weekend. The GFS has a low slamming into us with some pretty intense precipitation. Of course I am very skeptical of this after some of the "imaginary storms" that surface on the GFS and then disappear. I think we'll know if next weekend is a washout by the end of the current weekend.
