🚨 Significant Threat of Tornadoes Today 🌪️

The South is looking at a potentially very hazardous day and night.

Storms, including supercells, will form this afternoon into the overnight hours with a significant threat of tornadoes, especially in the sunset hour and a couple of hours beyond. There are a few questions on storm mode and where storms will be able to keep and maintain clean inflow -- but the environment largely supports tornado formation with any storms that can remain isolated.

Dewpoints across the region will be highly supportive of severe weather, with mid-upper 60s in place.

Prime ingredients for severe storms and tornadoes: Mid to upper 60 dewpoints are in place this morning ahead of an approaching upper storm system, which will set the stage for an instability/wind shear parameter space favorable for tornado formation.

• Forecast soundings show 1000-1500 j/kg MLCAPE along with strong 0-6km wind shear of over 60 knots. This is a classic cool season low cape/high wind shear event.
