It appears that the chase potential today has become rather dull... The models had progressively diminished chances for storms today over the past couple of days and with the MCS that pushed southeast across SErn ND, NErn SD, and Central and Southern Minnesota this morning, I think it pretty much zapped the better forcing and moisture much further south.

There's still some decent moisture convergence out there (DMC, for you Doswell groupies... hah!) and the instability is there for possibly some random showers and thunderstorms to bubble up to the east. I've been watching the radar scope and other than a few weak echoes, nothing has really taken off, other than up near Lake of the Woods, where there was a valid SVR earlier.

I'm holding out hope for this weekend. Saturday, another decent shortwave pushes across the region and that may bring another potential chase day. I'll continue to monitor that situation and will update the ol' blog here to let you all know the plan of attack.

More later...
