interested in the june 15-17 timeframe for a few days of highs potentially in the mid-70s. ensembles have been trending towards a nice respite from the heat/humidity
the current fv3 RRFS (which afaik is the one rolling out as operational on aug 31) is not great. word on the street (twitter) is that the mpas RRFS is much better, but won't be operational for a while longer
Heading out monday to try and chase tuesday in E KS/MO, looks like a dismal pattern if you're a tornado fan, but could be daily chances for ISO svrs with good hail, which is what we're after. will be out for ~2 weeks, so looks like the pattern should become a bit more favorable after next weekend
barely hit 70 today, but plenty of showers/weak tstorms around. campus wx camera has a nice view:

Beautiful light show last night here, went and sat out in a field for ~90 minutes, with constant lightning 20-40 miles away, first from the cell that moved through Saginaw, and then new stuff that back built from it, probably off of outflow?
