But models are consistent with bringing another round of severe weather into the plains mid– to late-week. Not enough yet that SPC has drawn risk areas yet — there’s too much difference between the models. But here’s the bottom line from [...]

Runs just over 10 minutes, but gives the full cycle of our chase engagement on this storm.

As recently as 1990, people in the path of a tornado were lucky to get five minutes’ warning. Now, thanks to advances in radar, computer simulations and research on how tornadoes develop, the average “lead time” is 12 minutes — and more than 15 minutes for major tornadoes. The city of Moore had a stunning 36 minutes of warning." -- Mike Smith

Much can change this far out, especially the exact placement. But I thought you should know. Watch for updates as the situation comes into better focus.

I don't want to leave the metro until it becomes obvious storms are done, or not going to fire, here. I believe we'll see our best action of the day in a box bounded by I-35, K-99, the Missouri line, and the Oklahoma line. Where we go when we leave Wichita is still up in the air. I don't see anything in the models that identifies a particular point of interest.

He’s northbound. That west wind leaning the truck and trailer over is what we drove out of near Haviland that pushed us almost a lane across the road.

The storm risk is so conditional south of I-70 that I will probably decide on the more northern target. Sunday, on the other hand, is pretty straight forward.

Like most of the historic Plains tornado days, the risk for tornadoes actually goes up after the sun sets Sunday.
