Plains tornado threat Mon 5/27-Fri 5/31

Looks like the tornado is making a cyclonic loop. Earlier tornado in NE KS appeared to do something similar before it cycled. Imagine several tornadoes doing something like this around a populated area and you'll get an idea of what happened during the infamous Grand Island, NE event back in 1980.

Big ol' wedge, but was rain-wrapped (from my vantage to the S, at least) for a good portion. In fact, can no longer tell whether anything is on the ground the past 10-15 minutes. Typical nasty WF beast.

Typical? That might be one of the strongest tornadoes this year, I don't find that too typical.

Wow. This storm has some redicilous inflow feeding into it.

Just imagine what Wednesday/Thursday/Friday will look like, when we get much better upper-level support, albeit probably less instability. Still tons of shear, moisture, and good mid/upper-level winds. The last 2 days have already been pretty good, with extreme instability, and fairly good shear, but marginal upper-level support.

Frankly, I would bet the next few days will underperform tornado-wise. We may have better shear, but crapvection and lower instability amounts will probably make it a mess.
