The WRF and GFS now agree on a classic dryline tornado outbreak on both Sunday and Monday across the Southern Plains. A massive uncapped warm-sector with 1500-3000 J/kg CAPEs will prevail east of the dryline forecast to exist along the eastern TX Panhandle Border by 00z Monday, with a warm front extending ENE through southeast KS. A 40-50 knot low-level jet will develop near or shortly after 00z Sunday evening, thus any discrete supercells will have a high likelihood of producing strong tornadoes from Northwest Texas across western OK into southeast KS on Sunday evening. There is a high possibility of an outbreak of strong tornadoes overnight Sunday as a jet streak ejects from the Mexican Plateau and storms increase in coverage. The dryline will progress slowly eastward overnight Sunday into central OK by Monday afternoon. The warm sector will easily recover and become sufficiently unstable for supercells along and east of the dryline across North Texas, Central OK, into Southeast KS and MO from Monday afternoon through overnight. The WRF forecast CAPE for 00z Monday and 00z Tuesday are shown below:[map image]

Just great.
Fun...we were in the shelter when it hit just 1/2 mile S. of my home. Thank God for shelters.
“we were in the shelter when it hit just 1/2 mile S. of my home”
Had one hit my town today. Some serious damage but only 2 hurt. Had fun getting home from work, had the roads shut down for a time due to debris etc.
Our house escaped damage but the twister hit just a couple of blocks from it. Had the storm tracked just a hair more south and east, it would have hit the elementary school, our house (which is right across the street) and possibly the highschool.
Glad we dodged that bullet this time!
