Just booked days inn through booking .com. Pd just under £64 and got a twin room, so if anyone needs to share at last minute then that is fine. I arrive with Becca and Nick L on same United flight on the 27th. For the newbies there is a fb tour 3 chat group that Paul has set up on fb. If you want to be added before you arrive then pm Paul S with your fb details and I am sure that he will add you. Just can’t wait.

For those more technically minded and looking into FI for the start of our tour, it looks like GEFS  500hPa anomaly charts have one trough exiting the east coast of the US whilst another moves in from the west coast. Could be worse though taken with the salt it deserves..

I'm on the 1440 BA flight direct to Denver on the 27th, if anyone else is on it give us a shout. Just hope BA are on time given their track record over recent years. Look forward to seeing ya'all out there on the 27/28th, won't take the models too seriously this far out, but day 10 of 00z EC looks good for following days, with trough out west and decent strong 500mb flow over central Plains

See you out there Nick. I'm starting to jkeep a sneaky peak at the models too. Hopefully we get a reload and repeat of the upcoming pattern.

Cool, will let you and any others on this flight know when arrived at the airport or other side of security on here or the facebook Tour 3 chat thread. Guess will arrive around 11.30am then grab a bite to eat for lunch once through security. I will be one of drivers on the tour, will be the 7th time I've been to the US chasing this year.

Early signs are giving me cautious optimism.

Early week beg 27th May Mon-Thurs looking tasty still. Upper profiles push a 300mb 110kt jet across the central plains above more than sufficient low level moisture multi-day.

Still a long way out though.

For T3 GFS and ECM still trending Mon 27th -Thurs 30th May as potentially active days with increasing signs of a closed low centred far SW NE Tues/Weds.

Possible scouring of moisture thereafter but again that’s a long way off.

We may have to hit the ground running on tour 3. Hopefully be able to get a bonus chase in on Tuesday if possible with most of the guests arrived on the Monday. Denver not too badly situated

First official day on EC is looking tasty. Potent southwesterly jet, with spreads of 77/72 up into Kansas.

Tues 28th could be high end as the trend continues for a 100kn+ 300mb jet streak overtopping 70+ moisture advection into N OK/ S KS. I’d like surface winds to be more SE but it’s mesoscale stuff.

Sadly, any chase for us that day will have to be local to Denver. 

Quite significant differences in the jet profile between EC and GFS for the first half of the tour.

I concur, but GFS has done well with upper vectors this season. Also note Weds risk E KS/Misery area

Looking like a decent start is becoming increasingly likely.

Tour 3 model update. 

The only ‘more relaxed’ days in the 27th May - 4th June period look like Thurs and Fri next week. Multi day risk with a few moderate risks likely especially Tues 27th and again next weekend.
