Severe Weather Possible in OK/KS next week?

[Brandon Lawson]

I was looking at the GFS and it is showing something coming through during the latter half of next week. It's nothing that is going to blow anyone's mind, especially since it is still about 6 days out. But seeing how we have experienced nothing but summer heat recently, I'm looking forward to even the slightest chance of storms.

I guess you saw something I missed; I looked earlier today and I saw a death ridge type pattern in the S Plains through the next ten days. There were small pockets of energy scattered here and there (including a very weak upper low over the four corners region), but nothing that would seem to influence any kind of chase-worthy event. But it's anyone's guess that far out.

Hey, sorry it has been a while since I have posted, have had computer problems. anyway I think we are going to be heading into a much more favorable weather pattern for Heavy rain (once again) in Oklahoma during the next two weeks. However severe weather also is possible esspecially if there are localized areas of enhanced low level shear with any disturbances.

I'm guessing Thursday could be a chase day, but likely northern KS as the furthest south.

I know it's not good to try and forecast based on one model alone, but the scene in the southern plains has been relatively quiet. And when I started this thread the gfs was showing good directional shear along with adequate mid-level winds. But that lasted for all of a couple model runs and then it was gone. Maybe there will be some chase opportunities further north like you said, Mike.
