Great Tornado Day...Main Outbreak Event Still Expected Tomorrow...continuing Saturday too!

Nice day tornado wise across the Southern Plains. Dryline lit up as forecasted but not exactly the way I thought it would. Couple of long tracked tornadoes developed though which was nice to see. Looks like the main action of the day took place in Eastern CO and Western KS. The warm front did wonders today.

Storms have decoupled from the boundary layer ahead of the warm front for the night. Further south, tornado chances still exist ahead of the cold front/mixed out dryline, but I think the main threat tornado-wise is done for the night.

About the warm front tonight into tomorrow...hopefully these elevated storms will leave some nice boundaries for tomorrow's convection. Capping may be an issue for the warm front play so any boundary to focus lift will be critical tomorrow.

Several tornadoes...probably more then today will occur over a widespread area. Again, all modes of severe weather will be possible.

My new target for tomorrow has shifted a little bit West...to lie around NE Kansas...more specifically Marysville.

Stay tuned...Saturday's tornado threat looks to be around Central Tennessee...but that's ways away!
