Extreme meteorologist Dr. Reed Timmer says supercells began to organize with the potential to produce tornadoes from central Iowa to northeastern Kansas and northern Missouri on June 10.

00:00A tornado watch is coming soon from central Iowa back into northeastern Kansas, including the Kansas City area.
00:08We have an outflow boundary that is recovering rapidly with Cape Valley is rocketing up through the 5,000 joules
00:15per kilogram range.
00:16That is extreme instability. Supercells are already starting to organize in southwestern Iowa,
00:22and they are going to build back into northeastern Kansas, Topeka, Kansas City, and all the way across northern Missouri.
00:28We expect a threat of a strong tornado. That includes EF2 and greater tornadoes.
00:34We are in the Dominator right now. A full-blown science mission. No air conditioning in here.
00:40We are heating up in this extreme instability right now, and along that outflow boundary,
00:46there's going to be strong low-level wind shear increasing by 7 p.m.,
00:50and it looks like the threat of a strong tornado is going to be greatest between about 6 and 9
00:56p.m. this evening.
00:57That's going to be along the outflow boundary zone. This region here in the Corn Belt recovers after these complexes
01:05of storms more rapidly than any other region in the world,
01:08and that's because of the Corn Belt, the corn sweat, the big instability, the summertime sun angle,
01:14and it looks like we are going to have explosive supercell development very shortly here across central Iowa back into
01:22northeastern Kansas,
01:23including northern Missouri. Never stop chasing, and stay tuned to those severe weather watches and warnings.
01:29I'm with the warm roads for the first time.
01:29I'm the first of all. I'm looking for a powerful synergy to the first of all the crowds.
01:29I'll see you next week.
