yes daft question Karen I know. :D

Nah, not really - and even if it was I'd understand. Coming from the UK, I've asked my fair share of stupid questions, too! :lol:

(OK OK I didn't mean that to sound the way it did. I meant coming from the UK and not KNOWING anything about storms over here....)

Ask away......."let thought be contact"......

Sorry.....breaking into "YES", there......

The thing I HATE about this late-winter / early-spring time is that we often get these continental air intrusions DEEP into the GoM (actually, completely through the GoM sometimes). Looking at tonights GFS, it seems that while the southern-stream jet will remain active (with numerous closed 500mb lows coming through atleast TX in the next 10 days), each system is followed by a high that flushes deep into the Gulf. This means that even 2 or possibly 3 days of return flow does very little to get even modest low-level moisture into the southern plains. Ugh...

In response to Jeff Snyder's post: Yes, the depth of surface moisture is always a problem in the early spring. Even with south winds off the Gulf for two or three days, we struggle to get into the 50's dewpoints here in TX. Looking ahead, the progs have a closed low stuck off the California coast with wave after wave romping over the state next week. Unfortunately, surface moisture conditions remain dismal. TM
 
Hello

Interesting that SPC finally issued a slight risk for northern OK and southern KS. Did the severe TSTM warning for Alfalfa Co. verify? This situation shows that with powerful dynamics and limited moisture, mother nature can squeek out a severe storm or two. TM
