First Big Spring Storm

A very powerful Spring storm system is developing along the lee side of the Rockies. This will cause a raging blizzard on the north side and severe weather down the Plains. Currently modified moisture was advecting north out of the Southern Plains where mid 50 degree dew points have reached parts of Kansas. The moisture will be a question on how severe the storms will get. What will help counter the limited moisture will be very powerful upper level winds. As two spots stick out to me to have the greatest potential for severe and tornadic supercells. One spot looks to be over Central Nebraska south to Northern Kansas and another hot spot will be from North central Oklahoma south to North Texas. As this location if enough moisture can converge along the dryline the upper level winds will make any storm easily rotate. Here is the latest SPC Outlook for Today and then for the bigger Day on Monday. I'll have update later as I'll be watching this closely since its going to effecting my viewing area. Plus I plan on chasing tomorrow afternoon for the station.
