News flash: I agree with Justin

Okay, now that I've looked at stuff, I reluctantly agree with you, Justin. Deep shear is almost off the charts (70 to 80 knots), moisture is deep, and the instability and lift are plentiful.

Here's a sounding they did from Jackson, MS at 13Z today. It displays things nicely. Scary nicely. The only mitigating factor is the amount of sunshine, although even in the more or less cloudy air they're getting temperatures in the mid 20s.

On a side note, College of DuPage is doing the cold core play in Iowa today. That could also be interesting.
