Definitely not an easily recognizable severe weather pattern like a western trough, but with weak troughing over the upper Midwest, where storm tracks like to favor this time of year, this should favor a somewhat suppressed storm track. Meaning, the Central Plains through the Lower Midwest/OV should see an increase in activity.

Gefs seems to be pointing toward cooler than average with troughing over the midwest/east. Storm track could actually get suppressed too far south as hard as that is to believe for June 🙄😭

Pretty dangerous to suppress the storm track in June. Obviously, could bust if cold fronts keep pushing the moisture to the Gulf coast... but that's hard to see happen this time of year.

I tend to agree but worth keeping an eye on. I've noticed the gfs tends to over amplify the pattern in the long range

Alright...this is it. Northern Ohio's season coming into focus. Mostly just wind events and small hailers up this way 85% of the time. But being sandwiched all the way up towards Toledo, it's hard to ignore the small and large scale impacts the city along with the lake has on weather here. When severe storms DO initiate,  its mostly in this area below, and shunts to the south and east while maintaining or increasing in strength. E.g: yesterday's storm in northern Hancock county. Usually leaves Lucas county high and dry for the most part when it comes to storms. Dying fropas seem to be where our moxie has come from the past few seasons.

Something's gotta give this year...

This storm sucks 

From KIND. 

Sunday night through Thursday...

 

Ahead of a low pressure system, winds will pick up Sunday evening

and cloud cover will increase. A front associated with this low will

pass through our CWA on Monday, but trends have shown a slow in the

eastern progression of this system. Jet dynamics in both the lower

and upper levels are unfavorable for significant strengthening of

the low pressure system. The surface low appears to be vertically

stacked with base of a 500mb shortwave trough, suggesting quick

weakening of the system as it passes through our region. Monday will

be rainy, with a chance of thunder. However, recent model runs

decreased the amount of CAPE expected during the passing of the

front, but thunder may still be possible. There is low confidence in

whether or not showers will linger through Wednesday and Thursday.

Rain can be expected if the front stalls over or near our CWA.

Counties behind this front will experience CAA and highs in the low-

to-mid 70s.

We are due for something to shake up around here. Been lackluster winters for about 4 years. Anything on the horizon is always excited but the reality usually kicks in....

I would move to your area for the tranquility, however, I'm sure that would change once I did 😅

Our climate has definitely changed over the OV. We just do not get storms like we used to. I have gone pretty much the entire spring without even one decent strong thunderstorm. Unheard of!

Well to be fair, climatology is shifting in general but tornadoes are shifting our way. Doesn't seem like it but it is. Spring has been hit-or-miss for years, but I'm sure it won't stay like that. In theory, this should've been a big year for us with the -PDO and moderate Nina, but there's more to it than the Pacific. 

We're one of the regions that really doesn't have an off-season so missing Spring doesn't bother me much.

It's MCV season. Got one currently in the Midwest and another one will likely develop tomorrow. That one could produce some MCV severe weather in the mid-MS valley/OV on Monday if it verifies.

Billion dollar weather disasters are still somewhat rare, but man, we're very lucky the Plains isn't more populated. Not even talking about tornadoes, the frequent late spring/early summer significant hail days would be contenders.

Supercell cluster is doing some interesting things in NW KS. Won't be surprised to see a tornado or tornado warning result. Note the below images are for the same supercell, different radars, but likely very similar times. The former is closest to the cluster.

Thermo statistics have been glitching lately but I can tell from the profile that there's gotta be something like 3000-4000 sb/mucape here. And that EML placed like that with the freezing layer? Gonna produce some crazy hail.

0z HRRR has a severe threat for Monday for the Lower OV as a result of the MCV that develops tomorrow. Looks to me like the extent of the severe threat is limited by moisture availability. But it is the long-range HRRR which isn't great with handling mixing.

I'll probably get the leftovers of the current plains MCS moving through here tomorrow morning, with another late night/early morning MCS moving through Sunday night. Could get some decent action out of these. June has been pretty inactive for storms over the last couple years for this area so maybe this year can break that streak.

Local weather says 80% chance of storms Monday night into the morning Tues. Would be nice to have a rumble of thunder come through. 

 Slow start for sure but diurnal storms can sometimes surprise this time of year.

DAY 2 CONVECTIVE OUTLOOK    
NWS STORM PREDICTION CENTER NORMAN OK  
1242 AM CDT SUN JUN 05 2022  
  
VALID 061200Z - 071200Z  
  
...THERE IS A SLIGHT RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS FROM SOUTHEAST CO  
AND WESTERN KS INTO NORTHWEST OK...  
   
..SUMMARY  
  
STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE POSSIBLE ON MONDAY FROM PORTIONS  
OF THE NORTHERN AND CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS TOWARD THE OZARKS AND LOWER  
OHIO VALLEY. DAMAGING GUSTS AND HAIL ARE THE MAIN HAZARDS EXPECTED  
WITH THIS ACTIVITY. THE GREATEST POTENTIAL FOR SEVERE STORMS WILL BE  
CONCENTRATED OVER FAR SOUTHEAST COLORADO INTO SOUTHWEST KANSAS AND  
NORTHWEST OKLAHOMA MONDAY EVENING INTO EARLY TUESDAY.  
   
..SYNOPSIS  
  
A COMPACT MID/UPPER SHORTWAVE TROUGH IS FORECAST OVER THE OZARKS  
MONDAY MORNING. AN MCS ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FEATURE IS EXPECTED TO  
BE ONGOING MONDAY MORNING ACROSS PORTIONS OF SOUTHWEST MO INTO  
EASTERN OK. THIS MCS AND ANY MCV WILL DRIVE AT LEAST LOW-END SEVERE  
POTENTIAL AS IT SHIFTS EAST ACROSS PARTS OF THE MID-MS/LOWER-OH  
VALLEY VICINITY. FURTHER TO THE WEST, ZONAL FLOW WILL PERSIST ACROSS  
THE WESTERN STATES INTO THE PLAINS. ANOTHER WEAK SHORTWAVE IMPULSE  
IS FORECAST TO EJECT EASTWARD FROM THE CENTRAL ROCKIES INTO THE  
PLAINS MONDAY EVENING/OVERNIGHT. THIS WILL RESULT IN INCREASING  
MID/UPPER LEVEL FLOW ATOP A MOIST AND UNSTABLE AIRMASS. ISOLATED TO  
SCATTERED STORMS WILL DEVELOP IN MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW FROM SOUTHEAST  
MT SOUTHWARD TO SOUTHEAST KS BY LATE AFTERNOON AND SPREAD  
EAST/SOUTHEAST DURING THE EVENING. ANOTHER MCS MAY ORGANIZED ACROSS  
WESTERN KS INTO NORTHWEST OK OVERNIGHT.  
   
..OZARKS TO THE LOWER OHIO VALLEY VICINITY  
  
THERE IS SOME UNCERTAINTY IN LOCATION AND MAGNITUDE OF SEVERE  
POTENTIAL ON MONDAY. THIS WILL BE INFLUENCED BY THE LOCATION OF ANY  
ONGOING MCS ACROSS THE OZARKS VICINITY DURING THE MORNING, AND THE  
TRACK OF ANY ASSOCIATED MCV THROUGH THE AFTERNOON. THE DOWNSTREAM  
AIRMASS ACROSS THE LOWER OH VALLEY WILL MOISTEN THROUGH THE DAY,  
WITH AT LEAST WEAK DESTABILIZATION EXPECTED. THIS WILL BE LIMITED  
SOMEWHAT BY CLOUD COVER AND MODEST MIDLEVEL LAPSE RATES. DEEP-LAYER  
FLOW WILL ALSO BE MODEST, BUT EFFECTIVE SHEAR MAGNITUDES AROUND  
25-30 KT SHOULD SUPPORT SOME STORM ORGANIZATION. MARGINALLY SEVERE  
HAIL AND STRONG GUSTS WILL BE THE MAIN CONCERN WITH THUNDERSTORMS  
THROUGH EARLY EVENING.   
   
..SOUTHEAST CO INTO WESTERN KS/OK  
  
A SMALL SURFACE LOW IS FORECAST OVER WESTERN NORTH TX MONDAY  
MORNING, WITH A WARM FRONT EXTENDING ACROSS SOUTHERN OK.  
NORTHWESTERLY LOW-LEVEL FLOW WILL EXIST ACROSS MUCH OF THE  
CENTRAL/SOUTHERN PLAINS BEHIND A WEAK SURFACE TROUGH. THE WARM FRONT  
OVER OK WILL LIFT NORTHWARD THROUGH THE DAY AND LOW-LEVEL WINDS WILL  
BECOME SOUTH/SOUTHEASTERLY. THIS WILL TRANSPORT RICH BOUNDARY-LAYER  
MOISTURE NORTH AND WEST TOWARD THE CENTRAL HIGH PLAINS. AS A WEAK  
SHORTWAVE IMPULSE EJECTS ACROSS THE CENTRAL ROCKIES BY EARLY  
EVENING, THUNDERSTORMS ARE EXPECTED TO DEVELOP IN MOIST UPSLOPE FLOW  
AMID MODERATE INSTABILITY AND STEEP LAPSE RATES. HAIL AND DAMAGING  
GUSTS WILL BE POSSIBLE WITH INITIAL HIGH-BASED SUPERCELLS. SOME  
UPSCALE DEVELOPMENT WILL BE POSSIBLE AS MIDLEVEL FLOW INCREASES  
DURING THE EVENING/OVERNIGHT PERIOD AND ANOTHER MCS MAY DEVELOP AND  
TRACK EAST/SOUTHEAST ACROSS PARTS OF WESTERN KS INTO NORTHWEST OK,  
POSING A DAMAGING WIND THREAT.   
   
..NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS VICINITY  
  
MORE ISOLATED THUNDERSTORM DEVELOPMENT IS POSSIBLE ACROSS THE  
NORTHERN HIGH PLAINS VICINITY. SURFACE DEWPOINTS WILL BE LOWER AND  
INSTABILITY WEAKER WITH NORTHWARD EXTENT INTO EASTERN WY/WESTERN NE  
AND SOUTHEAST MT/SOUTHWEST SD. NEVERTHELESS, ADEQUATE DEEP-LAYER  
FLOW AND STEEP LAPSE RATES WILL SUPPORT SOME POTENTIAL FOR HAIL AND  
GUSTY OUTFLOW WINDS.

Could get interesting here today. These are some pretty big area soundings over central Kansas on the NAM and HRRRnam_2022060506_021_area_37.26-38_56.-99.97--98_22.thumb.png.9a139c858449b271580b1c26582dc7bb.png

The 3K NAM did have some crazy parameters yesterday, but it seems like the 6z run never recovers the atmosphere. I'm not sure how realistic that is with the current MCS already pretty far east. The HRRR has a mean line forming. Pushes all the way into Illinois.

Welp I got double upgraded from marginal to enhanced. This got interesting real quick... SPC even mentions a possible upgrade to moderate but I'd assume that would be for KS. The line won't get here until like 2-3 am so I won't be able to stay up for it but it's better than nothing. Could get some nice rain from the current line in KS too later this morning
