+1 on June 7th. That date has been a sure thing for WI the past two years! And +1 on all the rest of your upper midwest days listed!

 

[Colt R Forney]

Sometime during May 11th through May 15th time frame will be the big days for severe weather in the plains...because that is finals week here at OU!

 

[Mikel Shively]

Well, I for one certainly wish I had a crystal ball, as I have to tell my superiors 2-4 wks ahead of time when I wish to take my comp/vacation time. Although my schedule is such that if I take 2 days off (24 hours) I actually have 6 days off in a row... I'll take a stab at it and say the first "chaseable" high-risk day of 2009 will be April 4.

 

[James Siler]

Well I got to look at the vacation i tried for and I basically have the first 2 weeks of May off. I went for the last two weeks but the ones with high eniority got it. There are still 3 days in the last week of May that are avaialbe and i am going for those as well. I am thinking this yer will be a bad season.

 

[Jeff Richardson]

Toss my hat in the ring on this one...

March 6 - HP supercells in either Dixie Alley or TX
April 10 - 30th anniversary of the Red River outbreak...has it been that long already?
April 18 - Slow moving, photogenic classic supercells in south central KS or north central OK (wishful thinking...but hey, it's my birthday!)
May 23 & 30 - Clean schedule those days so I can chase cirrus to my hearts content.

 

[Paul Austin]

Feb 10 - ne AR
Mar 27 - TX/OK pan

May 3 - sw KS/nw OK
May 12 - n OK

I guess I could increase my chances by listing an event for every date of the season

Right date, wrong state on the first one. Do I get partial credit?

 

[Tim Newman]

Whatever date I pick to go camping with my son will undoubtedly be a super-outbreak, since we couldn't even enjoy Scott Lake for all the nearby twisters last Memorial Day weekend. So, since that is when we will probably try to go camping again, I pick May 22nd - 25th in Central Kansas. Don't get me wrong. I'm glad for all the folks here who got some awesome video of great tubes (and I even got my first pics of a wall cloud), I would just like to go camping without a catastrophe for once.

 

[stephanieschweitzer]

May 6-Nebraska/SW IA
May 15-OK City vicinity
May 25-(Oconto or Langlade Co.)WI because of Memorial Weekend camping trip
June 15-Mankato MN(Just because I moved back to WI)and it will be a big one!
July 4-SW Illinois

Na, probably not... its not as fun when you called a day within a model's range..

 

[Shawn Camp]

I have my vacation Paid Sceduled for April 19-26 and I'm going to have to negotiate at work for May go figure. hopfully April will be a good time for me and May well we'll just have to wait and see but yeah it could be a bad season ahead and we must all be prepared for whatever lies ahead see you all at Tessa.
