Given model trends...it now appears a more substantial severe threat might develop from the srn plains into the lower-mid ms valley region thursday /day 5/ as the shortwave trough ejects enewd resulting in height falls across the warm sector and a strengthening llj. Storms may develop along the dryline and dryline/pacific front merger over the srn plains as well as farther east in the warm sector. Severe threat will likely spread ewd into the lower ms valley area by later thursday afternoon and evening.

Interesting. I’m in Eastern Kansas and I’m watching this closely.

“The Super Outbreak of April 3-4, 1974 occurred across portions of the Midwest, Lower Mississippi Valley, and Southeast. In what was the worst tornado outbreak of the 20th century, there were 148 tornadoes over the course of just 18 hours, over half of which were classified as significant/strong at F2 strength or higher.”
The new Godzilla movie is supposed to be the shizznit. Much better than the crappy 1998 version.
See, TV “meteorologists” can get it wrong and still have a job.....GODZILLA IS ON THURSDAY!
I am sorry for your loss. :(
MODEL CONSENSUS IS THAT A VIGOROUS SHORTWAVE TROUGH WILL TAKE ON A
MORE NEGATIVE TILT AS IT EJECTS ENEWD THROUGH THE CNTRL/SRN PLAINS
INTO THE MID-LOWER MS VALLEY REGION THURSDAY...BUT SLIGHT TIMING
DIFFERENCES PERSIST. A MOIST WARM SECTOR WITH STEEP LAPSE RATES AND
MODERATE TO STRONG INSTABILITY WILL PRECEDE THIS FEATURE. FORCING
ALONG THE ATTENDANT COLD FRONT AND DRYLINE AND HEIGHT FALLS/ASCENT
IN WARM SECTOR WILL LIKELY CONTRIBUTE TO THUNDERSTORM INITIATION
FROM ERN OK THROUGH ERN TX. ACTIVITY WILL SUBSEQUENTLY DEVELOP EWD
THROUGH THE LOWER-MID MS VALLEY AND WRN TN VALLEYS WITHIN A STRONGLY
SHEARED ENVIRONMENT SUPPORTIVE OF SUPERCELLS AND ORGANIZED
LINES/BOWS.
There will be a tornado outbreak in Oklahoma and Arkansas
It’s gonna be a whoopin’. I hope folks are paying attention.
