Storm Chasing Season

So my friend Andrew is here and it officially begins the storm chasing for us! Unfortunately he came here a day late because this past weekend was very active. I even observed some large scale rotation all across the Lawrence area which later would produce a short live tornado just outside of Lawrence near 1-70. Actually saw some of the damage on Monday for a farm house. The following day also saw wide area of storms although less tornadoes were reported and mostly were southwest of Wichita.

Right now for Tuesday night there are a few areas of convection in the Texas panhandle although nothing to impressive. The upper air support for the new few days not favor a major outbreak, although lower levels look decent for great plains. We might go out tomorrow probably south of Lawrence but with shear indices from models not looking to impressive along with upper wind support lacking not expecting much. There is enough instability and two cyclones that will help produce some convection.
