Tornado threat rapidly increasing in the vicinity of San Angelo, TX as the LLJ increases this evening. Solid thermodynamics will carve an environment favorable for large hail and tornado production now and Tonight over Central Texas! #WxSky

Well, the 500 mb pattern next weekend is quite intriguing due to the tropical systems in the gulf, it casts uncertainty on moisture. Also mid-level temps in the warm sector appear to be warmer than what would be ideal for severe storms. #WxSky

NAM 3k has a very robust QLCS/embedded supercell threat from Central Texas into Central Missouri Monday. Solid instability w/good low level thermos combined with favorable QLCS wind vectors are strong 0-3 km shear are powering a threat for a few tornadoes (maybe a strong one).

Well these showers aren't much right now, I would watch these closely. If a matured supercell can develop from this cluster of showers a strong tornado will take shape given the current wind profiles. #wxsky

Synoptically evident severe weather event over the Southern and Central Plains Wednesday with potential for all severe hazards. The greatest tornado threat exists in OK/S KS where the cold is likely to hold back leading to a traditional dry line setup. #WxSky

Storms are approaching the area for the first time in a long while!

A classic cold core setup on tap tomorrow afternoon across Kansas, and perhaps Southern Nebraska. With strong wind fields in place, and modest instability in place a marginal tornado event could take place. This is pending how much sunshine occurs, and if storms outrun the small warm sector. #WxSky
