Next week?

Right now the GFS is hinting at instability in Northern Virginia each day Mon-Wed next week.  Tuesday looks like the best storm chances overall, and the Storm Prediction Center in Norman OK has issued a forecast graphic to that effect.  I don't see a lot of directional wind shear at the moment, but speed shear is plentiful so I would guess we will see a squall line or two.  Have to wait for the NAM forecast cycle to cover those same days to get another "opinion" on what will happen, but I'm already anticipating an early April chase...or two!
