5/28 - 4:30pm - A Few More Scattered Storms

I still think we've been doing pretty well with these scattered storms over the past few days. We've only been hit three times and the rain has not lasted long during each hit. The radar isn't too populated with storms at the moment, but there is potential for the formation of some storms this afternoon with unstable air around. A cold front should come through this evening, which could have some storms with it as well.

The passage of this cold front will allow for dry weather on Friday, but there's a potential for severe weather on Saturday. The latest SREF model puts a bit of instability here on Saturday and there will be a cold front coming through as well. It doesn't look very impressive at this point, but 48 hours allows for quite a bit of change in severe weather forecasting.

More scattered storms will be around next week after Tuesday, but I think these will be a bit less dense than what we've seen this week. Severe weather in Tornado Alley looks like it will crank up next week and continue for at least a week or two after that. Perfect timing I'd say!

9 days until storm chasing begins!
