There aren't any strong forecast signatures for organized convection for the next week or so. Saturday and Sunday have some limited potential, but as of this morning's model runs the upper level support is weak to non-existent. May is usually a good chase month here in Northern Virginia but this year has been spectacularly unproductive for me thus far, some of which can be attributed to bad luck during last week's storminess. As a storm chaser I don't have to witness tornadoes to be satisfied, but a decent lightning display would help...
While waiting for convection to fire here I'll be chasing vicariously through the Hokie Storm Chase team which is motoring across Tennessee on I-40 at the moment to position themselves for what appears to be a fruitful chasing week in the Plains. May they witness many rampaging supercells this spring, all in uninhabited regions of Tornado Alley.
