Chase Day (for some)

Well today looks like a potentially dangerous day for areas of MO/AR and IL, with the threat of tornadoes and damaging winds. Strong low pressure system will pull a warm front northward over MO/IL, combined with strong shear values given jet streaks and the potential for severe weather is quite high. Clearing should occur in this area as a dry slot moves in around the low pressure system that should be moving across areas of IA/MN today.

Plans were made for a potential chase, but right now this doesn’t look like it is going to happen. Given that we could make it to a target area by 4 pm easily into MO and be setup for a chase. That is just not plausible for others given the terrain, so it looks like a no go. I will update if anything changes, but for now I’ll leave you with a target area of Huntsville, MO.
