April 22nd-25th back to back storms with a potential blizzard, severe weather and drought relief.

I wanted to group these storms together due to the size of the forum and how close they are together.  The first of the 2 could be a significant severe weather producer for eastern Nebraska and points south and east.  The GFS has this for storm #1

Storm # 2 is more exciting as the drought areas could get their best precipitation event in over 6 months.

10 day precip total for the GFS and Euro.

Great work Clinton. Last decent rain event here was late September. Local paper says a little over 1.0” of precipitation total from November 1- April 16. Just really unbelievable.

The first of the 2 will likely split ya but the second storm should give you some good rain.  It will take more than 1 storm to end the drought but I'm hoping this will maybe start an improving trend.

We are so many inches behind, it will take months to make up. It is never good going into to planting season in a major deficit.

Thanks Clinton...wrt to the Winter side of things, it looks like Minot, ND will be riding the fine line with this one but just W & N get rocked.  The Glacier will continue to build up that way....just incredible...

Models are really showing big rain totals for mby.  Severe weather will really crank up this weekend.

Never say Never with Weather, because anything is possible!

All observations are in Tecumseh, OK unless otherwise noted

Models not looking good around here, broken record, for any significant moisture. Our church will have a prayer vigil tomorrow night to pray for rain. People are realizing this is going to be a devastating situation for a region that relies 100% on agriculture. This will impact all business. 

Awwww this is so awful. I can’t believe how bad it’s getting there. Isn’t May/June usually your best months though for precip? Hope you know everyone in here is rooting for you!!

It really seems like that were going back into the 1930s, when the weather was COMPLETELY against us.

Thanks for the kind words. March usually has a big storm or two. April- June typically are the best. July can deliver with large thunderstorms or totally dry. We’ve had dry stretches before, but never that I can remember going on 6 months

@CentralNebWeatherare you here much from your office about this set-up for Friday?

They think it stays east. They’re pretty pessimistic that if we don’t get something Friday, we’ll not get anything in April.  It would be one of the driest April’s in history following record dry November, December, January, February, and March in this area.  NWS says the dreaded dry slot looks to plague us once again.  Even the most optimistic people I know are concerned about the impact this drought will have.  #drought2022

It looks like the only chance for appreciable precip is in the far eastern edge of the state, even east of Lincoln. The past several years has been a string of dry Aprils at LNK, but previous years were not already as a dry as a bone. May almost always comes in clutch, so if the dry pattern continues though then we're probably extra screwed.

My father in law and brother in law farm east of town.  They have about 3000 acres of corn and soybeans along with 150 head of cattle.  They don't know how a crop with be able to come out of the ground unless they turn on their irrigation systems.  They begin planting next Monday.  They are very concerned about costs and will they get a crop that can make any money.  Also putting off any equipment purchases for the foreseeable future.  That then affects local agricultural businesses relying on farmers to purchase equipment.  Bad news everywhere.

The WPC has 4-6 inches of rain for Oklahoma & Missouri, but almost nothing in Nebraska, stupid dry slot!

I saw that.  We've been dry slotted some over the years, but I don't remember anything like this year.  How long has it been since we've had a low come out of SE Colorado and travel across KS to the St. Joseph MO area.  That is our perfect moisture scenario path.

Best one was in 2019, but there must be a certain pattern that is refusing to break.

Temps will rise to around 80 in my area Saturday and will create my best chance of severe weather so far this spring.

SUMMARY...
   Severe thunderstorms are possible Saturday through Saturday night in
   a corridor from parts of the Upper Midwest into the southeastern
   Great Plains.  This may include a risk for tornadoes, in addition to
   hail and strong wind gusts.

Enhanced risk issued tomorrow, hope it translates into some rain for Nebraska.

NWS Hastings mentions wind and hail primarily. Local forecast says maybe 0.25-0.50”. I’d error on the low end during a drought, and hope for more. Going on close to 7 months of this, I remain pessimistic until a major pattern change occurs.

You ready @hawkstwelve Looks like your first legitimate severe threat of severe of the season. I always like being downstream from convective initiation.
