GFS has been consistent for a few days now in bringing a deep surface low pressure system into the Plains States next Thursday. Both the 12Z GFS and the 0Z ECMWF model are in general agreement regarding the strength and position of the system, to be centered in the general area of the Panhandles/SW KS/SE CO (~990mb).
The GFS is showing a stalled out warm front on what looks like on a line just south of I-70 with an eastward moving dryline. While the models still disagree on the position of the upper level system, with backed surface winds and SSE-rly H85 winds for most of the length of the dryline, could see a decent shot of some severe weather. Storms are likely at the warm front-dryline intersect in Kansas, southward along the dryline, with SE Kansas and NE Oklahoma seeing the best shot of severe weather.
SPC already mentions of possible outbreak situation in the timeframe of April 30th-May 2nd.
