No chase took place today as the front continued to slide south and east throughout the morning. As some storm did fire up down across I-20 Abilene and drifted east through the Dallas Fort Worth area. Hail has been reported but reports have been minimal and on the small side. So deciding not to chase was a good decision as this set up never really materialized like was expected. Saturday will be the next small chance of severe weather across the southern plains. However this risk is looking very small due to early timing of the front on Saturday and limited moisture.
Looking ahead to next week the Plains finally start to warm up while the Gulf of Mexico starts to recover. These warm temperatures under dry weather and south winds will likely start to bring much higher dew points north. Severe weather starts to become a focus possibly by the end of next week with a major trough into the Pacific Northwest.
Stay Tuned! One of the slowest starts to the tornado season could start ramping up by early to mid April. If you’re curious if the season will ever really get going. I’m seeing some previous analogs suggesting that May and June could be very active across the Plains.
