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

The 0-6 km shear vector is pretty much perfectly perpendicular to the dryline.  There's no way this congeals into a line quickly.  It usually takes a couple hours after initiation for the supercells to develop vigorous low-level rotation, and once they do, there's no going back.  I've seen this play out so many times before.

Completely understandable.  I guess you just have to remind yourself that the odds of your square-mile actually being affected are incredibly slim.  Still quite obviously wise to have a good plan in place.  Good luck.

 

 

that's kind of a dangerous thing to say... you could say that about any area inside the tornado watch but the fact of the matter is every town in that watch area has an equal chance of being hit. 

 

I was specifically directing that to JoMo.  I agree with you.  I specifically was thinking of people in Joplin & Moore who might go too far the other way (and with obvious reason) and be paralyzed with fear over any future Tornado Watch.
