Well, it looks as if this week will be even quieter than last week. Today will probably offer the last decent opportunity for scattered convection along the Front Range of the Rockies before the ridge strengthens and squashes everything. A weak front traversing the Plains by mid-week may provide focus for showers and little more.

Looking ahead, a chunk of energy looks poised to dive into the Plains by the weekend, pushing another front through in its wake (what's with all of these fronts?), perhaps providing support for storms Saturday or Sunday. Beyond that, a persistent trough may set up over the eastern half of the country, plunging us back into an unsettled northwest flow regime.

Given how little I chased in May, I pretty much have to chase in June if I want to see anything this year. However, given the benign pattern setting up this week and the fact that we're teetering on the edge of Summer, I'm going to drop out of full chase mode and focus on the best setups from here on out. In other words, updates will be a bit more sparse.
