The GFS model continues to show systems out in the 200+ hour range that look impressive, but as always, weaken or just end up disappearing as time progresses. The current 12Z GFS model shows a nice storm system hitting the midwest around the St. Patrick's Day timeframe. Of course a few days ago, it showed a nice system to hit the midwest on Wednesday, and then a few model runs past, that system disappeared and another one showed up with a 984mb low in NW Oklahoma for Sunday the 16th. It could be the same system that is showing up today to head in the Plains on the 17th. Either way, the GFS model is always fun to look at, and just to ponder the possibilities on if a model run should come true...I at least hope this one comes true as it would give central and eastern Kansas a shot at some severe weather on the 17th.
Only time will tell.
