I'm currently in York, NE, waiting for initiation along the cold front/dryline intersection. The instability and wind shear look quite favorable for supercells and tornadoes.
Shown above is the WRF forecast CAPE for 7 pm this evening (left panel), and RUC forecast 850 mb flow for 4 pm this afternoon. I am targeting the north side of the instability axis in southeast NE (yellow color in left image is ~2000 J/kg CAPE), where the best wind shear, instability, and low CIN coincide. I'm expecting initation around 4 pm. Shown below is the 4 km WRF forecast 1 hr precipitation beginning 00z this evening. This shows explosive initiation in my target area. STAY TUNED FOR UPDATES!!

I Hope this is going to be a great year for storm chasing for you guys. Good luck and shoot some awesome footage, so I can enjoy the extreme weather of the US (here in the Netherlands it’s nothing more than rain and peas-size hale).
