I'm not wish casting but 2 weekend events in a row would be clutch for the chasing community.

Verbatim that looks like pretty meridional flow with a pinched-off, narrow wavelength trough and somewhat mediocre moisture (at least on the northern end of the setup). Probably some level of severe threat but not a great chase day. I may be biased though since I can't chase due to being scheduled to work next Saturday.
Oh well, 3/31 will tide me over until I can take a proper chase vacation later this spring. Would have been nice to catch something last Tuesday but I'm glad I didn't go through this:
I used to chat on AIM with Skip and a few other college-aged upper Midwest weather geeks back in the mid-2000s. He actually went out and did it a lot sooner than I did, and I've always held him in high regard as someone who makes an earnest effort to be a positive ambassador for the chasing enterprise. I was practically wincing as I read through his detailed accounting of that epic bust.

I've actually been reading a bit of his older chase logs (he's done a fair bit of chasing in the area I grew up in, so that's super fun to read about/look at pictures of) and I love how detailed his logs are. I would love it if every chaser had a similar site with maps and even just a basic outline. It's so impressive. I don't think I've read his post about 4/4/23 though, so now I'll go do that...
And man, you reminded me how much I miss the AIM days!

Rolling Fork and Amory definitely made me re-evaluate myself as a chaser. Still fighting some mental battles because of this.

Other than April 15-16.....I'm also noticing more activity around April 19-20. I have a feeling after April 19th is when things are really going to fire up. Ensembles have hinted at increased activity at the end of April.
Lol I always love the term land spout

I know it's up in fantasyland, but very end of April through first bit of May it looks like it's gonna be busy here in the Plains from Texas on North to Nebraska especially in Oklahoma.

Well @Austin Dawg looks like you might be onto something. Here's the accumulated supercell composite parameter off the CFSv2 from April 25th through May 2nd. Another severe weather threat around my birthday (April 28th). I'm so thrilled. As long as it's not like my 17th birthday.... I could live without that happening again.

Since it covers two events, I'll just post this here:
