Day 1.jpg
SPC latest as of 8am update. Added moderate risk for most of OK and SE Kansas.

A tornado watch is already out for for Western OK. Moisture has returned (though shallow). Any storms anybody gets will likely be severe.

What defcon level are we at for tomorrow in Wichita area?

The next update from the SPC is at 1am. Have a better idea then.

The models are all over the place. A lot of parameters seem to be in place for high-end storms, but some models have Wichita not getting any measurable rain.

Mike Smith tornado forecast is the following. The red outline is where he believes the greatest threat of tornadoes tomorrow.

We were watching the reports unfold—absolute devastation in the Omaha and Nebraska areas. Today, there should have been a PDS tornado watch in the Nebraska area, but the SPC is afraid it will be accused of hyping the weather.

It will be interesting if they go with any moderate areas in the severe weather outlook for tomorrow.w

Significant Tornado Parameter is around 7 or 8 in the Wichita area tomorrow. In the Omaha area today, it was around 3.

From what I've heard, from Texas to Wisconsin. I wasn't worried when I first posted, it became a s h i t sandwich here in minutes. I've always enjoyed a good thunderstorm, this is the first time I've gotten concerned. Much of the impacted area was affluent and somewhat spread out. The Ramblewood area is densely concentrated area of 3 bed, 1-1/2 bath splits. Those houses are gone.

As much as I normally like these storms , I pray this misses everyone tomorrow. I have a buddy doing a gravel ride in Pratt, KS. He wanted me to go, I hope none of this stuff hits him or you.
