pretty impressive to see tornadoes right up against Lake Michigan that early in the season.
Definitely have positive feelings about this severe season. the jet has been ripping along so far and if continues into spring that will help promote increased shear and less meridional flow which will lead to more turning with height. Have seen 1990 thrown around as an analog and seeing some similarities in the March pattern(1990 also feature a double spike of extremely high AO values in February). Have also seen 1991, 2007 and a few other years thrown around that would portend average to above average tornado risk this spring.
Personally I'll be out chasing the last 10 days of may so hoping for an active stretch then.
