00:00A tornado watch has been issued including the wording of a few intense tornadoes possible
00:05and we are monitoring a cluster of supercells that are organizing down in southern Oklahoma.
00:10They're going to move through the tornado watch area.
00:12Wind shear is already sufficient for tornadoes with about two to three hundred zero to one
00:17kilometer storm relative helicity.
00:19That's enough to get a couple of tornadoes including a few intense eastern Oklahoma,
00:24eastern Kansas, up into Missouri as well.
00:27It looks like there's a bimodal threat for those intense tornadoes where you could have
00:32a pocket of greater probabilities up in northeastern Kansas, up into northwestern Missouri, even
00:37southwestern Iowa and then down here just to the east of the dry line.
00:42Anywhere east of the dry line looks favorable for supercells and tornadoes and it looks like
00:46multiple waves of supercells possible through the evening and then an intensifying low level
00:52jet during the magic hour. It could also increase the tornado threat during the evening across
00:58eastern Oklahoma, western Arkansas as well. But there's a very large warm sector with this system
01:04so somewhere conditions are going to come together for a few significant tornadoes, at least isolated
01:10pockets within that very large warm sector. Stay tuned to those severe weather watches and warnings
01:15anywhere from Dallas up to Milwaukee and there's even tornado warnings right now in southern lower Michigan.
01:21So thank you very much again.
