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!

LIMON, Colo. -- Blowing winds, low visibility, and "brownout" conditions are to blame for a massive pileup on Interstate 70 in eastern Colorado that has killed two people.The crash on westbound I-70, 15 miles east of Limon, involves eight passenger cars and six semitrailers, according to the Colorado State Patrol.Several people are injured but the exact number is not known at this time. The crash occurred at 1 p.m. near mile marker 374. Both eastbound and westbound I-70 between Limon and Burlington has been closed due to the crash, the blowing dust and extremely high winds, CDOT said. I-70 is not expected to reopen until well past midnight, CDOT said.
