GFS Showing Severe Weather Thursday!


Been waiting to see what the trough was going to do after the 180 hour model, checked it this morning and it looks like we may have our first march chase on the Plains Thursday the 5th. Possible Isolated cell, not sure about the wind shear yet but the conditions will be sufficient. Would like to see an isolated event so we can do our Aircraft Research. More to come as the days close in but here is to the season coming fast!
