Big Severe Weather Episode Next Two Days

Tornadoes likely from the Midwest into the Deep South.

The system we wrote about last weekend is now emerging, and the big weather impacts we wrote about are set to come to fruition. Today and tomorrow both promise to be very active storm and fire weather days across the country.

Let’s break it down.

Severe Weather Today

I have two areas of special interest highlighted today.

The first is across the Midwest and portions of the South, as the more difluent flow and more substantial lift overtakes a modestly unstable airmass. Models are more bullish on the updraft helicity (storm rotation) signals this morning, especially across Central and Southern Missouri. But I would not sleep on the early activity across Iowa as a tornado producer either.
