maybe a chase this week?

well, things are finally starting to set up. moisture isn't huge, yet, but it's getting there. the nam and gem regional are forecasting upper teens surface dewpoints and even mid teens at 850 sneaking up into the red river valley.

sbcapes are forecast to be in the 1500 to 2000 j/kg range and deep shears in the 40 knot range near grand forks on monday. perhaps a chase is in order so that i can shake off the rust.

and a repeat, a bit farther west, looks to be setting up for wednesday. bismarck, or thereabouts. if it all works out, i may see some good ones, finally.

according to my inside sources, the soil moisture is looking god for prairie storms this year. i hope so. because after the beginning of july, last year just sucked.

looks like i'll be teaching 2 of the classes--june 15 and 27. should be fun.
