A very intense, dynamic upper-level storm system is forecast to sweep across the Central Great Plains today, yielding the potential for tornadic supercells underneath the "cold core" in central KS by early afternoon, and in the warm sector in southern KS and OK by late afternoon and evening. The wind fields are incredible with this event, with extreme low-level wind shear expected over the above areas. The deep moisture is rapidly returning, with deep tropical moisture already in central Texas by early this morning. The WRF and RUC model forecasts for this evening look quite promising for tornadic supercells over central and eastern OK. We will be monitoring this situation very closely, and will likely have the GPS tracker up and running by mid- to late-afternoon. The RUC forecast for 00z tonight for precipitation, CAPE, and 850 mb flow are shown below.

yes, very dynamic setup both today and tomorrow. Tomorrow looks pretty huge, so I hope you guys get some good stuff. I wish I could participate... just nailed to the ground at the moment. Of course, if new day 1 brings high risk and 40% significant tornadoes... I might take off solo! lol
Goodluck and bring home the goods!
