With an active weather week underway across the CONUS, I’m casting my eyes on Sunday for a possible first excursion chasing storms this year. The GFS and ECMWF both paint a potent system moving through the Plains and Midwest. The GFS is typically the faster of the two solutions, but timing aside, both models agree that things are going pop weatherwise.

Much as I’d like to chase out west Saturday, I can’t, so I’ll leave analyzing the weather for that day to those who can take advantage of it. But Sunday looks poised to deliver the package to my backyard. I have a very large, multi-state backyard when it comes to chasing storm, and right now the prospects for something within a day’s reach seem pretty decent.

I don’t have time right now to include forecast maps, and anyway, we’re still talking six days out, so it’s pointless getting deep into things just yet. But stay tuned. I’ll pin up some maps and soundings as the weekend draws closer. Looks like I got my CTV and iMap live streaming video up and running just in time!
